Description

Guests: Kris Rushowy, Queen's Park reporter, and Matt Bradley, teacher and Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program co-ordinator Ontario is facing a skilled trades shortage and is looking at changing the education system to get more students thinking about, and working in, these fields. There are many issues to tackle, including how these fields are promoted and finding capable trades teachers. As well, some critics also worry that literacy and numeracy skills would suffer if these mandatory classes are adjusted. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.
