Setting students up for success How education BY LEO VALIQUETTE t’s been said by many observers over the past year that the pandemic continues to evolve isn’t creating change so much as accelerating the catalysts for change Ithat were already in play. Post-secondary education is one of those sectors of the economy where to meet Canada’s this is readily apparent. From online learning to developing curricula and modes of teaching that are more responsive to a student’s life and work future skills needs situation, progressive institutions were adapting to a new reality well before the pandemic. This is particularly true of Canada’s private career colleges. By their very nature, career colleges have always embraced change. Constant adaption is central to their mandates to produce graduates with the job-ready skills that are in demand. We sat down with Holly McKnight, Director of Education for the National Association of Career Colleges (NACC), to discuss how post- secondary education is and must continue to evolve to meet Canada’s future skills needs.

Career Connections 2021 [ 9 ] Campus Exploration Toronto School of Management tackles Canada’s IT skills shortage

BY LEO VALIQUETTE “ nformation Technology” is a rather broad umbrella for a number of digital technol- Iogies and the skillsets required to deploy, manage and secure them. But these various disciplines do have several things in common – good salaries, opportunities for advancement, and skillsets that are highly portable between industries and jurisdictions. ICTC, Canada’s Information and Communications Technology Council, stated in a labour market outlook last August that, despite the disruptions of the pandemic, IT will continue to account for just over half of all employment in Canada’s digital economy and remain critical to the sector. “Preparing a digital-ready workforce will be paramount in fast-tracking Canada’s economic recovery post COVID-19,” The ICtC stated. And yet, long before the pandemic, Canada (and much of the rest of the world), suffered from IT labour shortages. These shortages span industries and disciplines. In a report last year, enterprise security services company Fortinet reported that 89 per cent of Canadian IT managers agree that one particular IT shortage, cybersecurity skills, has created additional cyber risks for their organizations. In an IT World Canada webinar last August, Chris Collins, Vice President and Managing Partner for IT staffing at technology firm PeopleToGo, said, “The problem is not a shortage of people, it’s a lack of candidates with the skills required by particular employers.”

NACC’s purpose, as it was in 1896, is “to be the voice and enabler of opportunities for our members and benefits for their students.” Today, NACC represents some 550 regulated career colleges across Canada. It operates with an elected board of directors, representative of each region of the country, that oversees its operations and is responsible to its members. “Like any sizeable sector, there needs to be an association that helps to bring best practices together, like-minded people together,” said Henry Devlin, President and CEO of Willis. “NACC acts as a conduit for that. It brings together the schools from coast to coast and, to a certain extent, legitimizes the sector.” “I am a huge believer in NACC,” added Keyin’s Craig Tucker. “I sit on the national board George Hood, and on the board Herzing College for its provincial counterpart. With so much change in the world, we have to make sure that colleges are putting out quality graduates and they are doing so to marry up with labour market intelligence. NACC plays that role.”

A voice at the table One area of priority is industry representation and government relations, said George Hood, Chair of NACC and Director of Government Relations at Herzing College in Ottawa. This ensures that the interests of members are represented at both the provincial and federal levels, on matters such as accreditations, international students and immigration. One classic example is financial aid – student grants and loans. Today, these are available to PCC students, just as they are to community college and public university students, but that wasn’t always the case. “Many years ago, when the federal government was developing policy around student financial aid, students attending career colleges were not initially included in the discussion,” Hood said. “If it wasn’t for representatives of NACC being at the table, our students may have been left out.” NACC also works with its members to establish and oversee standards and best practices for quality education that reflect current and future labour market needs.

[ 16 ] www.nacc.ca “Each option offers something unique.” Sprott Shaw’s Tesan agreed. “Our goal should no longer be to try and compare ourselves … but instead to position ourselves as a trusted and credible option for public education in this country.” That’s not to say there isn’t a place for a little healthy competition.

Pathways to success “Competition keeps people on their toes and it gives consumers options,” Thibert said. “That is usually good for the consumer. Monopolies tend to get overpriced and your service tends to deteriorate.” Tucker is also an advocate for more cooperation between private and public post- secondary institutions. He sees value in more widespread use of pathway and articulation agreements where credits earned at one institution are recognized at another. For example, a personal support worker grad getting credit for that education and experience toward a nursing diploma or degree at a public institution. This mobility could play an important role to improve retention in sectors such as healthcare that already suffer from critical labour shortages. “If you feel that you have a future, that there is a way for you to continue to educate yourself and to grow, there is much more sustainability to keep you in that sector,” Tucker said. “When you feel that you have nowhere else to go, nowhere to ladder up to, then you are more likely to shift careers. The only way to change that is to get all the stakeholders, public and private, in the room working together.”

The ROI of a hands-on education As the tug-of-war between skilled labour demand and labour availability becomes more acute in the years to come, the role and value of Canada’s private colleges will only increase. That puts the onus on students, and anyone else who might play the role of influencer over their decisions, to think hard about the purpose of a post-secondary education. “I don’t believe enough people are looking at education as an investment, rather than as a point of consumption,” Thibert said. “I really don’t think we should be consumers of education – you shouldn’t just go out and buy it without a plan for how it is going to better your life.” “I believe in what we do, I believe in our graduates and I am passionate about education,” Tesan added. “We are fortunate that we are in a profession where we can support personal growth and advancement. The more people realize that’s how we view education, the more attention will come to private colleges.”

“I have worked with many career colleges across Ontario and in New Brunswick,” she said. “They definitely do play an important role – we need them all to be full to the brim. I see a lot of their grads get hired for home care, long-term care or the hospital setting right away.” Despite the quality of the education that can be obtained through a career college to become a PSW, other challenges remain. “Unlike physicians and nurses, PSW is not a self-regulated profession,” Ferrier said. The ability to self-regulate can only be granted to a profession by the government of the province or territory in which it is operating. Only through self-regulation can a profession protect the public interest by setting standards of competency and conduct, being able to license members or being able to discipline members who fail to meet its standards. This also means that anyone can claim to be a PSW, whether they have the training or not. At present, the PSW profession is not allowed to self-regulate anywhere in Canada. Ferrier and her peers continue to lobby government to see this change.

‘One of the hardest jobs’ Another issue as it pertains to the shortage of PSWs is the chronic shortage of Home Support Workers (HSW) with adequate training, Ferrier added. As distinguished from a PSW, an HSW does not receive the same level of education in anatomy, physiology, cognitive disabilities or more extreme personal care requirements. Nor are they considered qualified to perform the same medical tasks as authorized by a nurse or physician. But more HSWs would free PSWs to focus on the more demanding levels of care they are trained to perform. In this issue of Career Connection, we also profile the new PSWs, for example, has prompted the something vitally important right now HSW program from NACC.

Nurse Natasha Cameron – ‘So much opportunity’

BY LEO VALIQUETTE

or five years after high school, Natasha Cameron bounced from job to job and Ftook random university courses until a position as a housekeeper at a long-term care home gave her a sense of career direction. “One of the residents told me how much he just liked me as a person and thought I had the qualities that I could be a good nurse,” Natasha said. “It was heartwarming to know that what I was doing someone actually appreciated it and cared about it.” That inspired her to pursue her studies in nursing. She opted for the licensed practical nursing program at Sprott Shaw College, a private career college with 16 campuses in British Columbia. Why Sprott Shaw?
