In 2019, Canada became the most educated country in the world.   According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), over 56% of Canadian adults between the ages of 25 and 64 received a two-year or four-year degree or received an education through a vocational program.

In addition to the OECD accolade, Canada also saw a surge in employment this year, a sign of strength in the country’s overall economic growth.  With an influx of Canadians hitting the job market, it has become more important than ever for the current working population, especially millennials, to find fulfillment in a career.  Working simply for the sake of work is no longer an option for a generation that need their jobs to mean something.
