"To
forge an enlightened partnership between industry
and education,
train a world-class pool of skilled manufacturing workers,
technicians,
technologists and engineers, and secure technological
advantage in a rapidly changing world"
The Yves Landry Foundation provides
the opportunity for business, education, and government
to collectively be part of the solution to advance
technological education and skills training in order
to resolve the skilled labour shortages facing Canadian
industries.
- Canadian business and
employees achieve and sustain top technical status
in the global arena in which we compete.
- Choosing a career in technology
is as favourably considered by students, parents,
educators and governments as any other career path
- Mainstream education
provides relevant, up-to-date technical education
to the point where business does not need to
provide substantial remedial or supplemental
training, or import skilled workers.
- Barriers to life-long
education are eliminated
- Young people are encouraged
to enter apprenticeships, co-operative education
programs and activities that foster better insight
about technology and the inspiring opportunities
available
