Transportation affects our lives in a multitude of ways. We drive cars for everyday purposes, use mass transit to commute to work, and fly and cruise on holidays. Transportation systems move raw materials to manufacturers and finished products to consumers locally, nationally, and globally. In addition to being essential to our daily lives, transportation and transportation systems are an important area of employment in our economy. Transport Canada’s Transportation in Canada 2006* reports that the industry provided work for approximately 881 000 people in 2006 and that employment in this sector “has grown steadily since 2000, reflecting a high demand for qualified personnel”.
The SHSM–Transportation provides students with a strong foundation for a wide variety of careers in the transportation sector, from those focusing on the service, repair, and modification of vehicles and vehicle systems to those related to the organization and management of transportation services and mass-transit systems.
