Those with diplomas generally earn higher incomes. In other words, more education still leads to better-paying jobs. Of course, there's more to the quality of education than how many graduates get jobs, but there is still a direct connection between education and work. The way students move from school to the labour market has also changed. Cooperative education programs are more accessible.
Career education is more prevalent.
Vocational and technical programs are more available, and business is being invited to participate in the design and delivery of education programs and contribute to them financially.
