Automotive executives say postsecondary institutions are falling short when it comes to producing enough candidates to address the skilled-labour shortage plaguing the sector. Meanwhile, schools are up against rapidly changing technology and difficulty finding trade students with the required academic chops.
Some courses are not updated to keep pace with rapidly evolving automotive technology, said David Adams, president of the Global Automakers of Canada . Some curricula are as much as 10 years old, he said.
Schools should consider condensing programs over shorter periods “so that you can move people through the system faster, get them into the workforce,” said Roxanne Rose, Linamar Corp.’s global human resources vice-president. In the service sector, for instance, the national Red Seal program governs the training, apprenticeship and certification of trades, including automotive, McClelland said.
