Canada will require 100,000 new engineers before 2025.

There are many engineering jobs in demand in Canada.

Engineering jobs will be available for disciplines that include: Civil; Mechanical; Electrical, Computer Engineering; and more.

The world is currently experiencing a shortage of engineers. The shortage isn’t limited to a single country, either. Nations worldwide are reporting shortages in a variety of engineering fields. In Canada, there are a little over 250,000 currently employed engineers. Experts estimate that by 2020, approximately 95,000 of those engineers will reach retirement.

There’s also the issue of losing senior engineers. 62% of employers say that new engineering graduates do not have the skills they need, reports The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)

According to a labour market report conducted by Engineers Canada, Canada will require 100,000 new engineers before 2025.

With Canadian University engineering programs churning out approximately 12,000 new engineers each year, there simply isn’t enough talent to replace retiring engineers.

Canada is well known for producing some of the world’s top engineers, with 3 Canadian schools ranking on the list of the world’s top 50 engineering schools

One issue facing the engineering industry is the lack of young people interested in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).

We must strive to get more young people interested in these fields early. Canada designating March as National Engineering Month is a good start.
