Outlook & Prospects for Administrators – Post-Secondary Education and Vocational Training in Muskoka-Kawarthas Region

The future forecast and current conditions for an occupation can vary based on location or due to changes in the economy, technology, or demand for a product or service.

National Outlook – 10-Year Projection (2011-2020)

This section provides labour demand and labour supply projections for this occupation over the 2011-2020 period.

Note: The tables, graphs and middle paragraph shown under this section display updated 2011-2020 projection results. The remaining narrative text (2009-2018 projections) will be updated shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The data in the following table are derived from HRSDC’s Canadian Occupational Projection System (COPS). COPS uses a variety of models to produce a detailed 10-year labour market projection per broad skill level and per occupation at the national level, which focuses on the trends of labour supply and labour demand over the next ten years.

This occupation (Administrators – Post-Secondary Education and Vocational Training) is part of a larger occupational group called Managers in Health, Education, Social and Community Services (NOC 031).

Occupation Projection for Canada

Over the 2008-2010 period, this occupation experienced strong employment growth. The unemployment rate increased slightly, but remained low at 3.3% in 2010. The average hourly wage increased at the same rate as the average for all occupations and is among the highest of all occupations. According to key labour market indicators, the number of job seekers was insufficient to fill the job openings in this occupation.

Over the 2011-2020 period, an occupation will be in excess demand (a shortage of workers) if the projected number of job openings is significantly greater than the projected number of job seekers. An occupation will be in excess supply (a surplus of workers) if the projected number of job openings is smaller than the projected number of job seekers. For Managers In Health, Education, Social And Community Services, over the 2011-2020 period, job openings (arising from expansion demand and replacement demand) are expected to total 66,981 and 52,247 job seekers (arising from school leavers, immigration and mobility) are expected to be available to fill the job openings.

Given that this occupation showed signs of shortage, projections indicate that the situation will continue and there will be an insufficient number of job seekers to fill the job openings over the 2011-2020 period. Job openings will arise primarily from retirements. Over the projection period, the retirement rate in this occupation will be one of the highest among all the occupations. Workers in this occupation are older than the average and retire earlier than those in other occupations. Moreover, demographic changes will put pressure on the health sector and all health professionals, including managers in the health sector, in which expansion demand will be strong. Furthermore, since education is one of the governments' priorities, the demand for managers in education will remain strong. Given the nature of the occupation, namely that it requires a certain level of experience, the school system and immigration can provide only a limited number of qualified candidates. Most candidates will therefore come from other occupations (particularly from the health sector) where they have already acquired considerable experience. This trend will increase in the coming years, but will not be sufficient to fill all openings.
