Job and Educat

Indicates Survey

By Indira Brown . Toronto

(CUP) — Canada’s youth are disappointed with their job opportunities because they don’t match their educa- tional experience, a recent survey says.

The. Canadian Youth Federation — responding to a request by Jean Charest, minister of state for youth, fitness, and amateur sport — polled 2100 people from ages 15 to 24 across Canada.

It found 90% of students think their career will relate directly to their education.

But only 44% of graduates find that this is true.

Students still recognize the need for post secondary education, the survey indi- cates. A full 50% expect to graduate from Univer- sity. “The message thai get- ting a good education is one of life’s necessities is firmly lodged in the minds of Cana-

- dian young people,” the re-

port said.

But only 56% of grad- uates with full-time jobs ranked academic qualifica- tions as “extremely impor- tant” in helping them get hired.

Don McGillis, assistant manager at a Canada Em- ployment Center in Toronto said, “In most areas it would

be impossible for schools to teach practical skills, be- cause they could never keep pace with technical changes in the work place.

“An academic program provides the necessary gen- eral background from which students can go on to learn

skills applicable to their jobs.” McGillis said students

should make sure their aca- demic programs-are_ bal- anced.

“Unemployment levels are so low, and there are jobs in most general fields,” he said. “If a person can’t find appropriate work, then they must not have planned their original program very well.”
