Hamilton creates high quality graduates from our world class post secondary institutions. We can no longer afford the local "brain drain" caused when these young people move away when the city does not offer what they need. We must begin to acknowledge that today's youth have different needs than those of us who graduated in past decades. I will work for what youth want: better transit, high quality jobs, compact urban living, car-lite lifestyles, etc. so that those who chose to learn here are more likely to decide to build their careers and families here. |
| Whitehead, Terry |
Yes |
Yes. We have to ensure that our educational system is graduating students that align with the current and future needs for employers in the city of Hamilton. There are many examples of well qualified people graduating out of our educational institutions today that are not finding jobs aligned with their education. |
| Wilson, Bryan |
Yes |
Absolutely we should be. Hamilton should include a divers range of people and encourage them to stay here. It will take all ages and types to keep Hamilton moving forward for the future. Hamilton is doing well in attracting new people to the city, the apprenticeship programs that are in place area great start. Building a better transit system and a denser core will also attract younger folks to stay. |
