I couldn't help but notice that your list of schools are all universities. Both Heddle, here in Ontario, and Seaspan for BC have teamed up with community colleges to train future employees. Most of the trades I have read about on these pages are skills related. Surely a little coordination with the colleges could establish and maintain a training syllabus that would meet your needs as well as industry's.

100% agree. There are many colleges and technical schools around the country that also offer remote education. Some I really question what they're teaching but many others are solid, fundamental courses.

Something more within my lane is the number of Emergency Response/Preparedness courses being offered by colleges. While it's another good coffee on the course content within I would also argue this is a subject stream that for those CAF members who have deployed on OP LENTUS may be given partial course credit for dependent upon role/duration/experience. If they can find a college to recognize some of this experience then the CAF member might be 20% or 40% done their college education prior to hitting the books.

Or to look at it from a trades perspective. Many tradespeople I know did not attend school for Year 1 education but challenged the exam based upon experience already gained as entry level help. Year 2/3 and Red Seal exam course work is where the formal education came in.
