BIG QUESTION? WHY IMPORTING LARGE NUMBERS OF FILIPINO FOREIGN WORKERS FROM ABROAD DOES A LOT BETTER, EASIER, AND SAVE TIME AND MONEY THAN TRAINING WORKERS FROM WITHIN CANADA? AT FCGS UNPRECEDENTED GLOBAL SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKS, YES WE CAN… Libo libong mga Filipinos rumaragasa sa paghahanda papunta sa NAPAKAYAMANG Bansa sa mundo - sa CANADA OIL SANDS. Every skilled trades Filipino knows that Canada Oil sands BOOM is set to EXPLODE soon. Mabuhay Filipinos! SIMPLE MOST LOGICAL ANSWERS MEANWHILE, IMPORTING (FILIPINO) TEMPORARY FOREIGN WORKERS IS MORE LIKE DAY-TRADING: QUICK PROFITS OVER LONG-TERM WEALTH Fast-tracking the entry of foreign workers to toil in Canada’s mines, oil fields and construction sites is certainly expedient. The work is there. So bring them in and get it done, for the sake of the economy. Hundreds of thousands of jobs will go begging for electricians, welders, pipe fitters, heavy equipment mechanics, ironworkers, scaffolders, and many other trades. One solution is to work harder at recruiting skilled trades (Filipino) foreign workers and immigrants Many of the companies who complain of labour shortages INVEST TOO LITTLE TRAINING their own workers. Why? FOUR (4) YEARS APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM TRADESPEOPLE TRAINING IN CANADA The time-honoured tradition of experienced journeymen training the next generation – remains a foreign concept for the vast majority of employers. In spite of generous government incentives, MORE THAN 80 per cent OF EMPLOYERS who use skilled workers DON’T OFFER ANY TRAINING, according to the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum. Spokeswoman Marie Bilodeau said the REASONS ARE NUMEROUS, AND COMPLEX. Among other things, companies – particularly smaller ones – say they: 1. LACK THE HUMAN 2. FINANCIAL 3. AND LOGISTICAL RESOURCES TO TRAIN THEIR OWN PEOPLE WITHIN CANADA 4. After investing 4 years in training trades people in Canada may easily be the subject of POACHING (pirating) the moment they attain journeymen status. And Canadian workers themselves are always searching for competitors-companies who offer LARGE PAY. On the other hand, a Filipino Foreign workers, everybody is aware the NATURE/CULTURE of a Filipino popularly known as DEBT OF GRATITUDE (utang na loob) – it is characterized as REMAINED, COMMITTED, UNINTERRUPTED, UNYIELDING, UNDYING AND DOWN TO EARTH LOYALTY TO THEIR EMPLOYER especially one who brought them to Canada. And besides, Filipino foreign workers will never be subject to poaching because of their conditions (status) of employment in Canada. Even larger employers who take training seriously rarely do enough. EXAMPLE: Consider Irving Shipbuilding, which has a $25-billion deal to build 21 combat ships for the federal government. The company recently announced that it will spend $250,000 a year to train and recruit local students. It’s also offering apprenticeships. That’s all great, but likely not enough to attract the 1,500 workers it will need over the next decade in the face of stiff competition for those skills from Alberta’s oil fields. CANADIANS ALSO BEAR SOME RESPONSIBILITY Too many STUDENTS IN CANADA LOOK DOWN ON TRADES TRAINING in favour of COLLEGE DEGREES that often lead to LOW-PAYING SERVICE INDUSTRY JOBS. Others may simply be UNAWARE to the huge jobs opportunities available in trades. ( Students in Canada minamata nila ang trades training. Gusto nila lahat mag aral ng College ) Training workers is a LONG-TERM INVESTMENT. It requires patience. Research by the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum, which lost its federal financing this year, shows that companies get back $1.47 for every $1 they spend on apprentices. Over the life of a FOUR-YEAR LONG APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM IN CANADA, the gain can reach as high as $250,000 for a single heavy equipment MECHANIC as the apprentice becomes more productive and generates revenue. Importing (Filipino) temporary foreign workers, on the other hand, is more like day-trading: Quick profits over long-term wealth. GOD BLESS YOU ALL FILIPINOS AROUND THE WORLD! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR! WE DO HOPE AND PRAY WE WILL SPEND OUR NEXT CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR TOGETHER IN CANADIAN SOIL. MABUHAY FILIPINOS!
