Distance Learning (DL) tools are helping Canadians in remote communities connect to programs and services that would otherwise be beyond reach. With the help of DL, some of the most marginalized people with disabilities in Canada are able to take part in programs designed to improve their skills and get them into the workforce.
Most Canadians see the value in professional career development programs, possibly due to the assistance they could provide to those who often have trouble finding fulfilling and satisfying work. Eight in ten believe these programs would be valuable, with about three in ten (27%) who say these programs would bevery valuable and one-half who think these programs would be somewhat valuable (52%). Only five percent report that professional career counselling programs would not be valuable at all. The perceived value of professional career development programs has softened slightly since 2007, with fewer Canadians who now think that such a program would be very important (27%, down 7 points from 2007).
