It will roll through central Canada, where the Manitoba job forecast calls for almost 170,000 openings over the next five years. And it will strike in the Maritimes, to the tune of 64,000 job openings that are anticipated in Newfoundland and Labrador between 2015 and 2025. It’s the coming job boom – and seemingly no part of Canada will be shielded from the impact. In fact, for many businesses, the country’s aging population and other factors have al- ready created a significant worker shortage and, by extension, a surge of career oppor- tunities for those with the right skill sets. According to a 2018 report issued by the Business Development Bank of Canada (a federal institution devoted exclusively to entrepreneurs), close to 40 per cent of Canadian small and medium-sized busi- nesses “are already having difficulty hiring new employees and the situation is getting worse.” Why such drastic labour changes? The BDC report explains it in a way that’s been echoed recently in many places across Canada: “As our population ages and baby boomers retire, growth in Canada’s labour force is forecast to fall to near zero.

Through this study, an examination of a sample of 751 Canadian for-profit colleges See table of contents (FPCs) is performed, revealing the presence of an alternative logic. Rather than conformity, organizations within this sector engage in niche-seeking behaviour, using promotional materials to carve out unconventional identities. They do so by Publisher(s) directly drawing on symbolic resources and affiliations from the industrial sectors which they service.

  • Private Career Colleges
    Made In B.C. – Volume VIII A History of Postsecondary Education in British Columbia Private Career Colleges Bob Cowin Douglas College November 2013 Preface This may well be the last volume in the Made in BC postsecondary history series. I confess I’ve thought this before, but then a gap in my knowledge would bother me sufficiently that eventually another report would emerge to fill the hole. Increasingly, though, I want to read some theory that might help with interpreting all the changes I have been describing. I’ve noted in past volumes that many annual reports have changed from informative management reports to fluffier public relations pieces, and how transitory information on the web may not be archived anywhere, much less in ways that facilitate the tracing of an organization’s development. A point I’d like to make this time around concerns tunnel vision. For students and the public, postsecondary education is a single fabric, composed of credit and non-credit offerings, delivered by not-for-profit and for-profit institutions, ranging from adult basic education through graduate studies. Despite this robust ecology, few observers of the BC postsecondary system write about the interactions across all the sectors, preferring instead to look in depth at only a few components. Depth is good; I could not have prepared Made in BC without the focussed effort and insight of so many previous authors. Nevertheless, I think the time has come for more attention to breadth, to looking across the entire BC postsecondary landscape. Analytical work of course needs to continue, but my sense is that it would be helpful if it were to be complemented by more attention to synthesis.

  • Access Copyright and Fair Dealing Guidelines in Higher Educational Institutions in Canada: a Survey
    vol. 13, no. 2 (2018) Theory & Research (peer-reviewed) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.21083/partnership.v13i2.4147 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 Access Copyright and Fair Dealing Guidelines in Higher Educational Institutions in Canada: A Survey Serena Henderson, M.Ed. Athabasca University [email protected] Prof. Rory McGreal Athabasca University [email protected] Dr. Viviane Vladimirschi Athabasca University [email protected] Abstract Information about the acceptance by Canadian higher education institutions (HEI) of the Access Copyright (AC) licence is important for educators, though only a minority of HEI in Canada have opted in to the licence. Furthermore, the copyright “pentalogy,” the five major decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) and its interpretation of fair dealing, are relevant for institutions, faculty, and students. Many Canadian universities and colleges/institutes adopted the Universities Canada (UC) guidelines on fair dealing, while some adopted the six factors as stated by the SCC as their guidelines. In some cases, institutions have not adopted any policy or guidelines for any aspect of copyright. This paper investigates these issues to provide one perspective on the behaviour Canadian HEI exhibit in their adherence to AC and their use of policy and guidelines at their respective institutions. Keywords fair dealing, six factors, copyright, higher education, Access Copyright, pentalogy, guidelines, Canada Partnership: The Canadian Journal of Library and Information Practice and Research, vol. 13, no. 2 (2018) Introduction Beginning with a 2004 Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) decision (CCH Canadian Ltd. v. Law Society of Upper Canada [CCH], 2004), followed by the 2012 “pentalogy” decisions, five rulings of the SCC, the court provided guidance to educators and others on fair dealing (Geist, 2013).
