We conduct a comprehensive review and synthesis of Canadian and international literature, scanning academic studies, policy analyses, industry reports, and labour market and skills research. We supplement this literature review with an analysis of secondary data, primarily from Statistics Canada, to contextualize findings. We draw implications on observed and anticipated shifts in labour and skills demand. Finally, we validate findings with industry stakeholders through key informant interviews.

In this project, the education and employment histories of students are sequenced to better understand patterns of mobility and how they relate to a range of education and employment outcomes. The study uses linked administrative data to follow cohorts of students from when they transition into PSE to assess how their level of mobility, both prior to beginning an education spell and during their time spent in school, is associated with these outcomes.

This project aligns with ONCAT’s mandate to support learner mobility in Ontario through collaboration with postsecondary institutions to develop transfer pathways, streamline credit transfer processes, and facilitate transitions to the labour market.
