“Our Government is delivering on our commitment to support part-time students by enabling more low- and middle-income Canadians to attend school while working,” said the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development.

The government projected that over 2,500 additional part-time students will be eligible for a Canada Student Loan in year one, rising to just under 8,000 in year five. That translates to just under 500 additional part-time students who will receive a Canada Student Grant in year one, rising to about 1,500 in year five and ongoing.

“Our Government’s top priorities are job creation, economic growth and long-term prosperity for Canadians,” said Dr. Kellie Leitch, Parliamentary Secretary to Minster Finley.

“We recognize the important role post-secondary education and training plays in ensuring a strong, competitive and flexible workforce in the future.”

They are also making other improvements to Canada Student Loans and Grants, such as increasing the full-time grants income eligibility thresholds for low- and middle-income students (updated annually).

They are also looking to simplify the delivery of student financial assistance.

If this were the education Olympics, Canada would take home the bronze. Canadian colleges and universities were recently ranked third in the entire world.

The rankings were release by Universitas 21, an international network of 23 leading research-intensive universities in fifteen countries. Canada placed third globally behind the U.S. and Sweden.

“Overall, the top five countries, nominally providing the ‘best’ higher education were found to be the United States, Sweden, Canada, Finland and Denmark,” said the report.

48 countries and territories were ranked by 20 different measures, grouped into the following 4 categories:

• Resources (investment by government and private sector)
• Output (research and its impact, as well as the production of an educated workforce which meets labour market needs),
• Connectivity (international networks and collaboration which protects a system against insularity)
• Environment (government policy and regulation, diversity and participation opportunities

Canada could have ranked even higher on the list, but the overall score was hurt by a relatively low ratings for environment.

However, Canada’s score was boosted by having a very educated workforce. The countries with the largest proportion of workers with a higher level education were Russia, Canada, Israel, United States, and Ukraine.

“With the pressure (or excitement) of finding a new job, it’s all too easy to pursue a job opportunity or to accept an offer with only a hazy view of how the institution really operates,” wrote LinkedIn blogger, Bill Barnett.

“The path to an institution you’ll like is to investigate the culture you’re thinking of joining before you accept the position.”

Too many job-seekers get fixated on the superficial details like salary, hours, benefits package, and commute time when sizing up job opportunities. Of course, these things are hugely important, but you also need to look beyond those factors to gauge if you’ll really be happy working for this company.

Barnett says you can start gauging the culture and atmosphere during your job interview.

“Culture may come up in job interviews, although it may be complicated to do much investigation when you’re trying to sell yourself,” wrote Barnett.

“People sometimes worry that discussing culture might make people uncomfortable and put a job offer at risk. The culture topic is certainly not off-base, and it is necessary to know for future growth in the company. Hiring managers should expect it.”

“About 62 per cent of postsecondary students said they would join a similar strike in their own province; 32 per cent said they would not, while 5.9 per cent were undecided,” wrote The Globe’s Tamara Baluja.

The support is a bit surprising, with Quebec’s students paying less tuition (in most cases) than the average Canadian student, even after the hike.

“Ontario students, whose undergraduate tuition fees – currently the highest in Canada – were frozen for two years by self-styled education Premier Dalton McGuinty, are among the most agitated. Sixty-nine per cent said they would strike to oppose a raise in tuition,” wrote Baluja.

“Students from Alberta – whose undergraduate tuition fees are also above the Canadian average – are much less inclined to take action, with only 22 per cent saying they would strike.”

The Globe and Mail surveyed 2,200 globeandmail.com readers between May 2 and 7.

Canada was split down the middle, with 47 per cent of respondents answering they think Quebec’s tuition fees are excessive and another 47% saying Quebec’s rates are not excessive.

Fittingly enough, the man who started it all said the school got its name while he was looking at his radio.

“The name Trebas came to me in my car, I was listening to the radio and adjusting the treble and the bass – and there it was TREBAS,” said Trebas Founder/president, David Leonard.

Outside Trebas, Leonard is a founding Director of the American Music & Entertainment Industry Educators Association. He is also a Past President of The Music and Entertainment Industry Educators Association (MEIEA®) and a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Career Colleges.

He recently opened up to Cashbox Magazine, talking about his lifetime in music.

“My first recollection, at age five, was listening to a classical piece on radio and asking my mother how did they get all those people in that little box,” said Leonard.

“My parents sent me for piano lessons. I used to go to the Montreal Symphony, under Joseph Louis Wilfrid Pelletier, at Montreal High School on Saturday mornings for the children’s program. I was always involved with music.”

Fast forward to 1978, when he saw the need for a music school in Montreal at the post-secondary level and Trebas was born.

“I had a bunch of blank cards and I began to write anything that had to do with the recording industry, music business, acoustics, accounting, promotion, digital audio, music and film, television etc,” said Leonard.

“I began to realize all the cards sorted into three categories Technical, Creative, and Business. So, I said to my wife I wanted to start a college with three faculties. She said, ‘I think you have lost all your faculties.’”

“Employers value higher education that prepares people for careers,” said Linda Franklin, president and CEO of Colleges Ontario. “In spite of the difficult economic climate, Ontario college graduates continue to get jobs.”

Key Performance Indicators (KPI) show that 83 per cent of Ontario college graduates found jobs within six months of graduation, despite the difficult economy.

“Technology and trade are revolutionizing the workplace. It is important that new employees can adapt quickly to new innovations,” Franklin said. “Employers expect that and college grads deliver.”

Not only are Ontario’s college graduates getting hired, they’re also making good impressions with their new bosses. The KPI data also revealed that 92.8 per cent of employers answered that they were satisfied or very satisfied with the quality of the graduates they hired.

“Our colleges produce graduates who have the problem-solving abilities and technical skills to succeed,” Franklin said. “Growing numbers of students are pursuing college education because they know it leads to career success.”

The most recent KPI data was collected from March 2011 to February 2012 by two independent research firms for the colleges and for the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

The Financial Post recently reported that 3,500 Canadian business students ranked a number of public sector institutions among their top 20 most desired employers.

The Government of Canada ranked third overall, and beat out all of Canada’s Big Five banks, as well as mega-companies like Microsoft Corp., Ernst & Young, Bell Canada, Sony Corp. and Facebook Inc.

“Taking a look at the government of Canada, they’re actually the most associated with security for business students and rank No. 3 for security among engineering and IT students,” said Melissa Burdette, research project manager for Universum, who gathered the research.

Some of the other public-sector organizations that made Universum’s Top 20 include the Canada Revenue Agency, the Bank of Canada and provincial governments.

The Financial Post also reported that students are not just being drawn to the job security that the public sector offers. Business students are also looking for respectful employers and high future earnings. Junior level pay can be also be significantly more than the private sector.

It’s currently estimated that the public service offers an estimated 200,000 positions across 1,000 job types.

The AUCC signed a model license with Access Copyright, that grants certain copying rights on campus. In exchange the institutions received protections against being sued for copyright infringement.

However, the CFS says Access Copyright has a record of using the fees imposed on students to finance its lobbying campaigns to defeat copyright reforms necessary to advance research and education.

“The agreement is being rejected by students and professors and we will fight its implementation however we can,” said Roxanne Dubois National Chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students.

“Rather than paying to finance open access publications, purchase site licenses and promote fair dealing, the money from this agreement will instead be pocketed by large, mostly foreign owned publishing companies.”

Overall, the CFS feels the agreement will impose new fees on students, restrict the accessibility of educational material and raise concern for the respect of privacy of students and faculty.

“We are further concerned about the creation of a survey mechanism that would aim to monitor electronic correspondences and spy on students and faculty,” said Dubois.

“We are calling on university administrations to reject this arrangement and instead work with students to build a better copyright model, not spend our money shoring up an obsolete one.”

“The world is going digital, and Software Engineers who can help with that transformation are reaping the benefits. Their pay is great, hiring demand for their skills is through the roof, and working conditions have never been better, said CareerCast’s Victoria Brienza.

“And that’s why the job of Software Engineer ranks tops in our annual Jobs Rated report on the nation’s best and worst jobs for 2012.”

Careers were assessed and ranked by criteria such as work environment, physical demands, job outlook, income levels and stress.

Other jobs to make the top 10 include Human Resources Manager, Financial Planner , Occupational Therapist and Online Advertising Manager.

At the other end of the spectrum, if you’re a lumberjack, you’re not Ok. Lumberjack was named the worst job of 2012.

“Unemployment for Lumberjacks is very high, and the demand for their services is expected to continue to fall through 2016. And while working outside all day may seem like a great job perk, being a lumberjack not only is considered the worst job, but also one of the world’s most dangerous” said Brienza.

The rest of the worst job top ten includes Enlisted Military Soldier, Waiter/Waitress, Dishwasher and Butcher.

You can study to be a software engineer at schools like BTH Education Group or Durham Business and Computer College.

Ronald Chong is accused of drastically overcharging four Chinese high school students that were recruited to attend the University of Winnipeg Collegiate, a high school that is part of the University of Winnipeg.

The student said that Chong also provided them with very little food.

“What you get [for] breakfast is a piece of toast, a piece of bread with some jam on it. And sometimes maybe a week for, like, one or two times, you get cereal,” Herbert Tsang told CBC last week.

Tsang added he felt isolated and hid these conditions from his mother and everyone else.

“I’m pretty scared because I’m the only one here and the only one I know is him, so I didn’t tell my mom because I don’t want her to worry.”

Chong’s recruitment contract was cancelled earlier this year, after the University of Winnipeg became aware of the students’ living conditions. Their homestay program states that people offering room and board in their home are paid $650 per month per student.

You may or may gain valuable experience during an internship.

Summer is just around the corner. Have you set up an internship yet? If you have, Sprott Shaw Community College wants to help you get the most from the internship experience.

You may or may not get paid. You may or may not gain valuable experience. You may or may not make coffee all summer. In any case, Sprott Shaw advises you to start off on the right foot and be friendly.

“People are interested in why you are there and what you want to do. During my first internship, I would walk around and talk to a lot of people,” said the school in a blog posting.

“This was mainly because my job required me to sort the mail on several floors of the organization.”

They also said you’ll inevitably get asked what you want to gain from this experience. Be careful how you answer, even if you don’t know what you want.

“Think of skills you want to acquire and areas of their organization you would like to know more about. I made a mistake in one of my internships and didn’t say what I wanted. This lead to a fairly tedious work schedule.”

The article also advises you to be prepared to do the grunt work around the office and always show up on time. Also, it’s extremely important to ask questions. It makes you look more engaged and can save you from making an embarrassing mistake.

“This is the largest international mission of university presidents in Canadian history, which speaks to the importance of building connections with this emerging economic powerhouse,” said Stephen Toope, chair of AUCC and president of The University of British Columbia.

The presidents will meet with Brazilian officials to discuss potential research partnerships and scholarship agreements with Canada.

“This mission will build on existing Canada-Brazil relationships and catalyse new ones,” said Paul Davidson, president of AUCC.

“These partnerships will address the research interests of both countries and foster long-term prosperity.”

It’s certainly within Canada’s best interests to try to become the partner of choice for research, innovation and higher education. In the next five years, Brazil is expected to become the fifth largest economy in the world.

“Our focus is on establishing and strengthening partnerships in research and innovation. We will also enhance opportunities for student mobility between our countries, providing experiences that will better prepare students in both countries for the new knowledge-driven economy,” said Toope.
