Top 10 Jobs in Canada source: www.canadianliving.com From the skilled trades to college professor, check out the list of top 10 hot jobs and discover the positions that are in demand across Canada. These trades and professions are booming, so if you have the training and aptitude for one of these gigs, you can expect good money, a relative amount of job security and the knowledge that companies are vying to hire you. 1. Financial manager Demand for money managers is increasing as the private and government sectors are looking for whizzes who know the complexities of financial management. What to expect: An unemployment rate half that of the Canadian average. Tip: If you have knowledge of foreign finance or are fluent in a foreign language, consider yourself doubly attractive -- and pack your bags for a potentially jet-set international career. Getting started: Visit the international Financial Management Association's website at fma.org. 2. Skilled tradesperson If you don't want an office job, but do want a salary that pays above the national average, this is the sector for you. Unfortunately (or fortunately for you, depending on how you look at it), the skilled trades have suffered stigmatization for a generation. As a result, a shortage of tradespeople is looming in the service (chefs, horticulturists), construction (electricians, carpenters, plumbers), transportation (aviation technicians, automotive service technicians) and manufacturing (industrial mechanics, tool and die makers) sectors. Tip: In the next two decades, 40 per cent of new jobs are supposed to be in the skilled trades and technologies. Getting started: Visit careersintrades.ca for information on training (including paid apprenticeships). 3. College or vocational school teacher The boom in skilled trades means there's also a need for instructors at community colleges, Quebec's CEGEPs, technical institutes and other vocational schools. What to expect: The number of job openings exceeds the number of candidates, especially with retirements expected over the years to come, plus increased government funding. Tip: If your discipline is new technology or the skilled trades, your prospects are particularly good. Getting Started: Go to Service Canada's website, jobfutures.ca, for more info. 4. Dentist or dental hygienist Dentistry is a field you can really sink your teeth into, whether you've got the stamina to stick it out through three years of undergrad university studies plus four to five years of dentistry school or want to get working in this field sooner by becoming a dental hygienist.To obtain a diploma in dental hygiene, you can attend a private educational institution for a minimum of 16 months, or a 2 year program at a community college. What to expect: There are currently more job openings than there are qualified people to fill them, in both positions. Tip: the industry will continue to grow as Canada's aging population requires more care, more Canadians enjoy dental coverage, and the booming demand for adult cosmetic dentistry continues (thank you, Hollywood!). Getting started: The Canadian Dental Association's website (www.cda-adc.ca) has lots of info on the profession. 5. Computer and information systems managers The 2001 slowdown in the computer industry didn't put a dent in this field. Wage growth is still better than average, as are actual wages (almost double the national average), while the unemployment rate is well below the national average. continued on page 35 10 The Bulletin | NOVEMBER 2010 www.TheBulletinMagazine.com
