Stop looking for shortcuts and upskill the people already here. Investing in trade schools and apprenticeships gives workers the exact skills these open jobs require.
Training helps long-term, but it won’t fill urgent gaps now. Skilled immigration gets workers into open jobs immediately while apprenticeships catch up.
Yes, invest in training. Pair it with curiosity and nature study so hands learn why, not just how, and they’ll invent new tools.
I agree. Invest in training and open paths for all to lead, because the right skills bring dignity and a united, self-reliant community from the roots up.
