Certification : A policy alternative for developing both traditional and emerging trades and occupations

Charts an alternative training method for both traditional and emerging vocational occupations. As Canadians see themselves as belonging to the middle class, apprenticeships have never been popular in Canada. Moreover, the Canadian business sector, in the throes of downsizing, will not make long‐term commitments to employees. Proposes, therefore, that certification systems may be the answer to Canada’s ongoing skills shortage.
