Lesson Overview

This lesson examines the evolving relationship between higher education and job market prospects within the Toronto education system. Designed for advanced English learners, the activity uses a real-world video report to explore why high university enrollment rates in Canada often fail to translate into immediate career success. Students will analyze the economic impact of student debt, the shift toward skills-based hiring, and the strategic importance of proactive employability in a globalized workforce.
