The President of Seneca College (Canada's largest college with over 100,000 students per year) Mr. Stephen Quinlan calls for.
"...to make better use of educational resources by changing approaches to educational business."
In his speech to the Empire Club, Mr. Quinlan urged industry leaders to partner with colleges to develop programs that will match industry needs as they emerge.
"We have the people and the training skills to meet industry needs right now. [...] We have no need to import foreign skills or use private education to meet high-demand jobs."
He points out that:
"We won't have as many post-secondary institutions offering the same courses and programs as today.
There will be a rationalization of supply and specialization in the college system as the market will not support the costs and inefficiencies of too many institutions offering the same services."
He proposes tax incentives for companies to hire new graduates and allow colleges to issue globally recognized degrees.
"Give us the tools to compete globally and we'll overwhelm you with the success of our students and our economic prosperity."
