Bridging the Gap: From Education to Employment, Pilot Phase II

Educated People

This section presents a description of the area with regard to its educational characteristics. This includes looking at levels of formal education such as high school, college and university, as well as touching on issues such as literacy and skills training. It is also concerned with how these issues intersect with gender and employment characteristics.

Level of Education—Total population

Comparing the three graphs below, we see some significant differences among the three regions. While the percentages with regard to trades or non-university and high school appear to be relatively uniform across all three regions, the Clarenville communities have significantly smaller numbers of people without a high school certificate, and a significantly larger number of people with a university education when compared to Economic Zone 15. The Clarenville communities also maintain this difference to a smaller degree when compared to the province.
