Manufacturing industries have the largest share of employment in the goods-producing sector in Ontario, producing a variety of consumer and industrial products that are key to Ontario’s wealth. The manufacturing sector accounts for one fifth of all economic activity in the province, and about 70 per cent of the sector’s products are exported to other provinces and countries. In 2004, manufacturing employed over one million people in the province. Projections to 2009 indicate that manufacturing will account for 19 per cent of new job creation in Ontario.*
The SHSM–Manufacturing provides students with a strong foundation for a wide variety of careers in the manufacturing sector, from those focusing on the service, repair, and modification of vehicles and vehicle systems to those related to the organization and management of manufacturing services and mass-transit systems.
