Working Wise Dear Working Wise: My daughter isn’t planning on going to college. She doesn’t think there is any point. How can I convince her that it’s the right thing to do for her future? Signed Frustrated Father ©iStockphoto/Burlingham
Dear Frustrated: Albertans with a post-secondary education tend to earn more and are more likely to be employed than those without a diploma or degree.
Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
In 2014, 76.8 per cent of high-school graduates were employed in Alberta compared to 85.2 per cent of those with a post-secondary certificate or diploma. More than 83 per cent of Albertans with a degree and 85 per cent of those with a graduate degree were employed according to the Office of Statistics and Information ( https://osi.alberta.ca). The average Alberta high-school graduate earned $23.28 per hour in 2012 compared to $27.30 for those with a post-secondary certificate or diploma. Those with a degree earned $33.72 per hour on average according to the Employment and Wages for Alberta Workers with Post-Secondary Education report. The difference may not seem all that significant, but multiplied over a 40 year career a worker with a degree will earn nearly $1 million more on average than a worker with a high school diploma. Alberta’s Occupational Demand and Supply Outlook 2013-2023 examines the anticipated supply and demand over the next decade for hundreds of different occupations. Top growth occupations include: managers, computer professionals, physicians, dentists, nurses, chefs, heavy equipment operators, and tradespeople. All of these in-demand occupations require post-secondary training. In fact, 60 per cent of new jobs in Alberta require post-secondary training. Young Albertans have an opportunity to make the most of our province’s prosperity by ensuring that they have the skills that employers need today and well into the future. However, not everyone is ready to attend a post-secondary program straight out of high school. Young people can learn a lot about the world of work by spending a year in the workforce. It can also give them time to gather some career ideas, start an apprenticeship, start their own business, or develop an appreciation for the value of an education. Try encouraging your daughter to explore her career options on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) web site (http://alis.alberta.ca). It’s full of helpful career planning tools, including: • CAREERinsite career planning tool • Occupational profiles on more than 500 careers • Video profiles of more than 200 careers She can also call the Career Information Hotline, toll-free at 1-800-661-3753, and speak to a career consultant. Your daughter may discover the perfect career or program like the skilled trades, where you spend 80 per cent of your time learning, and getting paid, while on the job. Good luck!
