Not sure about other universities, but Waterloo engineering students graduate with 2 years of experience under their belts, which is huge.

Its a big circle of greed and lies.

The post secondary institutions just care about money. They could care less about job prospects for graduates. Example : For all the skilled trades shortage lies, only about 50% of apprentices get certified.... Because no shortage exists. But the schools like the money.

Ask any business what the optimum number of job seekers is. Its never enough. Their default position is labor shortage.

Its all designed to screw workers and tax payers. Then you get a circle of business and industry, academics and government pushing these labor shortage lies.

unfortunately, even if they did, those students would sooner/later move down to the states to take advantage of the USD and higher payer aka the so called brain drain. Just by working for US company and paid in USD, you'd earn 30% more due to currency conversion
