Graduates in the Economy. 2022 Environmental Scan
Colleges Ontario
This report shares data in the following categories as they relate to graduates in Ontario's economy: (1) Matching skills to employer needs: pathways, entrepreneurship, and innovation; (2) Ontario's college graduate advantage compared to the U.S.; (3) Ontario's post-secondary graduates in the world economy; (4) Educational attainment and employment of Ontarians from underrepresented groups; (5) Apprenticeship and adult education; and (6) Return on investment in Canadian post-secondary education. Among the highlighted findings are: (1) Over the past three decades, Ontario employers have required an increasingly more qualified and highly skilled workforce. This has led to three million more jobs by 2021 for those with postsecondary credentials; (2) There was a drop of almost one million jobs for those who don't have post-secondary credentials; (3) Adults who don't have post-secondary credentials have faced reduced employment in every sector; (4) Ontario's post-secondary students have been preparing for a disruptive economy by enrolling more often in programs that offer employment-ready credentials; and (5) College graduates continue to provide Ontario with a key competitive advantage over the U.S. [For the 2021 report, see ED614165.]
