Transportation is an important feature in the daily lives of many Canadians, and becomes increasingly important as the country experiences both economic and population growth. It connects communities, contributes to the flow of people and goods, and is key to the success of the Canadian economy (Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, 2012).
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. Depending on local circumstances, this SHSM may be designed to have a particular focus. Where a choice of focus areas is offered, students may select one (Ministry of Education, 2010).
