Hello everyone, this will be my last posting for 2025, I like to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy Safe New Year.
I would also like to take a moment to thank everyone this past year on Alignable for all your support, recommendations, and acknowledgement in this "New College University Development". Also to those on LinkedIn who recently created an interest in our initiative hopefully they too will continue their interest and support in 2026. However, when the skill is perhaps broken down (Specifically) where many require employment (China) the ratio of all-round knowledge and experience becomes less or diluted. The incentive to modernize and create a new Trade School/College/University, driving
apprenticeships from start to finish, and opening the eyes of students to the world of manufacturing. Educating through various levels that reflect upon our intentionally depleted manufacturing ecosystems and our skill trades base. By implementing such this institutional development as stated here producing a workforce, filling the gaps, and driving a path forward, giving people a stable opportunity, to obtain employment in well-paid work environments, without following our traditional pathways. In North America we call it "Ingenuity" if I recall it works every time?
There is no transparency when the missing link has been deliberately ignored? Our institutional development will clearly communicate competency expectations throughout our management, employees, and mentors to articulate the real, skills-based requirements and a strong work ethic. That's where the whole hiring chain becomes more aligned and (Competitive). This type of clarity not only helps students prepare realistically, but also helps industry recognize and spot the talent they require early and more accurately. The accuracy embraces our cohort of skills and education students with fitness, health, and focus, where each individual will develop an instilled discipline process that clearly understands the insurance upon a wide variety of specific career choices. Sponsorship, specifically developed for industry and creating an advantage for industry. The more we close the visibility gap, the faster we reduce the chronic mismatch between education and skills development where we can all actually participate in developing our workforce needs.
It was clearly mentioned to me years ago, Quote: the fact is, until Industry states "Which They Won't" that the courant college & universities are not producing graduates that industry requires "Nothing Will Change". So, let me ask "Why?", and what does the Higher Educated (Swellheads) actually know about being a "Skilled Tradesman" other than dictating and exploiting "How They" should think and are to be delivered for their own personal gain? "Pathetic comes to Mind" where they need to stay in their own lane and get the hell out of ours? "That's just me expressing my thoughts again".
If anything, the shift we’re considering is exactly what more people should be thinking about: not just “A Job,” but an adventure it's not just the "Carrot of Money" being presented, but a long-viewed career strategy aligned with Purpose, Instillment, Experience, and Discipline where the labor market actually needs to be headed. That’s why today’s gap isn’t only about numbers or ($$), it’s about capabilities, where deliverable institutions such as this one with incentives will inspire. Reversing that trend will require public awareness and support (Parents & Students), and where Industry sees the benefits and will work together, not just labor-cost recalculations.
AWE, the focus upon this "New Manufacturing Skills Training & Educational Model" requiring development "Inspiring To Achieve Clarity From Those Who Seek Interesting Opportunities for investment". I laugh when someone states you need "Skin In The Game", pursuing over two decades of R&D bringing forward alternative opportunities for the people, industry, and our economies "That" is much more than skin, it's pure determination. A stimulated interest is here for investors to evaluate our early stage investing objective, to intentionally attract and obtain a well seasoned Manufacturing -Based "CFO". Without it we will remain a "Story Time" not "Real Time" to our economy, "Old Story, No Money, No Funny". There is a "Huge Hunger" for a meaningful skills & educational development that contributes to our economy. That's why an alternative approach by embracing young16 year old Drop-Outs perhaps, 20 and 30+ year olds and those in between "Our Significant Culture". Our new "Institution" will "Empower" many (Entrepreneurs) alongside training and educating workers. Our Alignment through years of research, Advocating & Promoting for this new institution development has a very focused initiative seeking "Early Stage Investment" a prerequisite to implementing our newly found directive. (Knowledge Is A Process). Therefore, by implementing ignition to our "Two Flags" & "Dual-Hub Initiative" will continue to be our priority.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN CANADA
143
In 1960, the federal government again intervened in vocational education by introducing the Technical and Vocational Training Assistance Act (1960), which continued the program established by the Vocational Training Coordination Act and expanded it to include the preparation of technical-vocational teachers. Although the federal government’s funding priorities induced the “provinces to expand opportunistically in the direction of federal support” (Weiermair), 1984, p. 15), this funding was not used very efficiently for training highly skilled workers. Further-more, although federal aid amounted to 75% in some programs, poorer provinces lacking a revenue surplus or in debt could not always participate because they were unable to match the federal funding. Therefore, benefits accrued to richer provinces or to those whose priorities matched Ottawa’s
(Johnson, 1968).
As abruptly Ottawa had entered vocational training, it left—without consulting the provinces. At a federal-provincial conference in October 1966, the federal government announced it would withdraw from the field of vocational education to enter that of adult occupational training and retraining, and to increase its “assistance to universities”. Federal officials argued previous programs had distorted educational services by encouraging provincial governments to develop only programs whose costs Ottawa would share and to neglect others financed solely out of provincial coffers. Distinguishing between short-term retraining, for which federal authorities should have responsibility, and long-term vocational preparation, a provincial matter, the federal government launched the Adult Occupational Training Act.
Here I go again with my comment on the links below. Note: If at anytime my comments offend your feelings it's intentional.
Well this isn't surprising not in this institution. Doug? What happened to the $20 million left over from the College of Trades???????????
Seems to be a new Trend opening the door for something "NEW" and "Robust" perhaps?

Awe, just maybe some Common sense is working it's way through the Swellheads in the industry?
Ya, that's working, still trying since 1960 when the were introduced?
WELL, WELL, WELL, Finally, Really, we don't need a Cadillac for a work vehicle??????
Billions more that goes without a question or accountability dollar for dollar?
Intentionally self-inflected and a deliberate compromising agenda.
Well that's an easy one spend a billion back into Canada, you know the theme Canada First???????????????
Ray Day's talking again, A modern funding formula must support long-term financial sustainability. Colleges and Universities cannot plan, innovate, or adapt without predictable multi-year stability. A strong funding model gives institutions the room to invest in students, teaching, research and modern equipment that ensures access and success. Well Holy Shit Ray, gives us all the more reason to become competitive. "Jerry McGuire Swellheads"
Interesting a "Competitive Economy" requires "Competitive Competition"
Awe, The Oil? And where is ours????????
I hope they save us some?
