COMM 1227 - Essential Elements of Ethical Communication Selecting Option # 1 -
Claim # 1: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates of Trade and Technology Program is mainly the job of government.
Claim # 2: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates is mainly the job of the graduate.
Question 1. Which claim (Claim 1 or Claim 2) do you believe is most honest? Answer: I favor Claim # 2, as being more honest and realistic, though both claims can not be mutually exclusive from each other.
Question 2. What are your reasons for believing this? Answer: Whether it is public security, emergency measures, transportation, or medical care; our present society seems to put all of the responsibilities on the government. We often forget that the government works at the macro level. The government's mandate is to create, promote and set a favorable and conducive environment for economic growth (amongst other things). The government does not work directly for, or on behalf of any particular individual (Tom, Dick or Harry). Individuals (in this case graduates of Trade and Technology Programs) have a personal responsibility to live, promote and succeed their own lives.
The government at the macro level will create relevant educational programs, economic development programs and inter-provincial agreements to support job creation. However, individuals themselves (micro level) must do everything in their power to educate, develop and promote themselves to succeed their own lives.
The reason why is because that the government does provide a lot of jobs in the world however though it is the responsibility of the graduate to take advantage of this and create their own opportunity to obtain one of this jobs in the world and not to rely on the government to just hand them a job just because they have the qualifications
Claim # 1: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates of Trade and Technology Program is mainly the job of government.
Claim # 2: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates is mainly the job of the graduate.
Claim one is just silly. We create our own promotion activity in creating jobs, our community is created by the people involved, graduates of the trade school build and help support the community. Government should just stay out of it and leave people alone, they can never get anything right.
The reason I chose claim #1 is because the government helps businesses grow with incentives for hiring people within the community, help fund research for better technologies and medicines, also helps with people seeking education (i.e. student loans)
Claim #2 has the edge here, as one's own sense of agency should be the determining factor fro success. However, it is the responsibility of the government to, at the very least, not create unnecessary hurdles in the path of graduates finding work. This is what I took from the MacLean's article, allowing NS grads to pursue better opportunities elsewhere. This puts the power back in the worker's hands and puts the heat back on NS industry (both government and companies) to entice workers to stay here, and deservedly so.
In this day and age the government might help you in setting up a businesses but overall it is up the trades person to go out and make a name for themselves. If you sit around and wait for the government to help you advance you'll die of old age.
I feel claim 1 is the most reasonable choice. This is because the government has the most power over the economy, and there for the job market. Thus has the responsibility to govern as well as create/foster opportunity for its people. This being said, the government does not always do this well, but when it does people never seem to notice.
Claim #1, the creation of jobs for a graduate would be the responsibility of the provincial government whom wants to attract more graduates to move there for employment. The seeking of a job, and self promotion is the responsibility of the graduate.
Claim 1. would be the best because without the government making new jobs it doesn't open new doors for graduates. With the help we can all find new jobs.
2. I agree with this because a graduate that works and prepares for a job well be that much more valuable to an employer than one that relies on the government for work.
1. Claim #1 makes the most sense as it is the responsibility of the government to create the jobs for the graduates, thus encouraging more people to not only move to work said job, but also attend local schooling to further boost the provinces benefactors. 2. My belief is that if a government can understand how tight the job market is, and then they capitalize on it to bring in more jobs, that will then make the job market a little less vicious and allow the graduates an upper hand.
It is the responsibility of the person to insure a successful career but a government can assist with workers/business incentives, organize good work practices, and encourage employers to create more jobs for other workers.
1,I agree with claim 1 because the government would have a better chance at promoting and creating jobs.
2,The reason why I believe that the government should be the ones to promote and create jobs is because they have the resources necessary to create jobs and they also have the finances to promote them
1. Claim 2 sounds more of the right choice to go with. That promotion activity to create jobs for graduates is mainly the job of the graduate. I think that if a graduate is looking for a job they have to demonstrate the theyve skills they've learned
1. I believe claim #1 to be more honest. 2. I believe claim #1 to be more honest based on the agreement between the Nova Scotia and Alberta government. While there is a responsibility on the graduate to promote themselves, the government should take action to create a competitive economy for its citizens.
1. I agree with clam #1 because the government should and are to my knowledge, creating jobs for graduates of Trade and Technology. 2. I believe this because the government has the money and time to create jobs for students.
I think claim 1 is the most honest. I believe that it is because the government has the most power so they should be the ones creating jobs for graduates.
2. I believe this because claim 2 says to create jobs should be the graduates problem, but if there are no jobs how can the graduates work. That's why I think claim 1 is more honest because the government should be reliable for creating jobs for the graduates
In my opinion, claim Two sounds appropriate because I believe it is not the governments job to find new graduates work or job placement but the new graduates responsibility for him/herself. However, claim One suggests that the government should help. I do believe the government should help but only with some basic person skills such as Communications, Basic computer skills, Resumes, Portfolio etc., to help the new graduate/s build enough skills to feel confident about going into the world to find their desired employment/apprenticeship.
claim one is the most honest how ever i believe it should be the students job to find a work. if you have a hard time finding work. step back look at your portfolio and find ways to improve your skills.
my opinion is claim #2 Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates is mainly the job of the graduate.
I chose this one because it should be are responsibility to properly be set up for a job interview an be able to provide job skills and communication skills , problem solving skills to the employer. an we should be the ones out looking for the jobs instead of the government making jobs for us. when the jobs are out there we just need to find them
I believe in claim # 2 I think it is the graduates own responsibility to create job opportunity's and promote themselves enough to get the job, but I do also think it is the governments responsibility to have jobs here in this province for us to apply for.
1. I agree with claim #1 because the government should be creating jobs for graduates of Trade and Technology diplomas.
2.The reason why I believe that the government should be the ones to promote and create jobs is because they have the resources necessary to create jobs and they also have the money to promote them
An apprentice should have skills in reading, writing , math, and computers. They should be good at talking to people. the appreintice should be able to repeatedly learn ner things. and be good with computer communication..
-I believe that the Economy of Nova Scotia could benefit for finding work for their apprentices because allot of graduartes find themselves not being able to find work in their field. Lots of people end up not even using their degree. If the government were to find jobs for their graduates there would be a better rate of employment within Nova Scotia.
2. I believe this is the truth because the government can only do so much, things like deals with Alberta are good, but there should still be an outstanding expectation that can only be achieved by great self promotion. This includes a good cover letter, resume, portfolio, and interview skills.
1. It is on the graduate to find and create jobs in the field in which they want to work in. you cannot rely on the Gov' to create and find a job for you. 2.however I do believe that the Gov' should create jobs to keep nova scotians in NS and if they don't the graduate will find/create someplace else.
I think claim #1 is the most honest. The macro-economy of the nation depends on good national policy and direction. While local economies are subject to fluctuations but the overall health of a national economy depends on the government.
What are some skills that depend on the initiative of the student or apprentice?
Before reading these articles, my initial thought was that all skills are dependent on the initiative of the student or apprentice. And to some degree they are. I believe it’s the governments’ responsibility to have educational systems in place to teach skills and to market the appropriately. This being said, I understand that it’s each individual persons’ duty to push themselves to learn these skills and apply them. I am convinced that this should be applied to all skills.
I choose claim # 2 I think it is the apprentices own responsibility to create job opportunity's and push themselves hard enough to get the job, but looking back at claim one I also think it is the governments responsibility to have jobs here in this province for us to apply for.
i chose claim #2 but i feel the government does need to create jobs just not give them away. i feel like if jobs are being given away trades people will become less motivated to get the best job they can because they know no matter what they will have a job in the end.
What are some skills which depend on the initiative of the student or apprentice?
One of the 9 skills which an employer is expecting in a student would be computers; specifically if they use the internet, create & save documents, and use emails.
I believe that this would be a handy little activity for anyone who has difficulties with this.
i chose claim #2 but i feel the government does need to create jobs just not give them away. i feel like if jobs are being given away trades people will become less motivated to get the best job they can because they know no matter what they will have a job in the end.
1. i think number 2 is the most honest i think the government does need to create jobs and not just not give them away. like if jobs are being given away trades people will become less motivated to get the best job and grades and not do as well as they can, because they know no matter what they will have a job in the end.
2. I agree with this claim because it is our job to go to school and get the skills to do work in the trade and to promote ourselves so we can get a good paying job. it isn't the governments job to do this because if the promote and make jobs for us tradesmen and we cant even do the work properly or have the skills to put ourselves out there then there is no point
I agree with claim number #1 because it is our job to get an education to gain the skills in our trade in order to prove to that we are worth the money we will be getting paid.
I feel claim 1 is the most reasonable choice. This is because the government has the most power over the economy, and there for the job market. Thus has the responsibility to govern as well as create/foster opportunity for its people. This being said, the government does not always do this well, but when it does people never seem to notice.
1. Claim #1 makes the most sense as it is the responsibility of the government to create the jobs for the graduates, thus encouraging more people to not only move to work said job, but also attend local schooling to further boost the provinces benefactors. 2. My belief is that if a government can understand how tight the job market is, and then they capitalize on it to bring in more jobs, that will then make the job market a little less vicious and allow the graduates an upper hand.
The reason why I believe in this is because it should be up to yourself to push yourself further. The government should not be giving away jobs just to open it up for people. The graduates should have to work for that job by showing their skills/education. The person that deserves it should get it. If the government gave jobs away, there is a chance that the graduates with less skill and less drive will get the job before the more skilled and more driven people.
I believe that claim 2 is most honest, the reason so is that the government does provide lots of jobs for graduates but with that being said it is still the graduates responsibility to show and prove there skills through communication and even demonstration to then be picked by employers.
I believe that the second option to be the truest. I believe this because too much reliance is put on the government to provide jobs and money to people who may not have the proper skills. Therefore, by having the proper interview / job skills one may be more prepared to excel.
I would side with claim number 2 on the premises that as a graduate has most control of his/her future. Realistically it is the governments job to supply the jobs, but not hand them out.
I believe claim #2 is honest, but holds back a bit of key information. Either way I think it is truth, but only because I believe graduates should take more action, and participate in promotion more. you have to remember graduates just graduated; they don't have cash for advertisement. If the government, schools, and graduates come together, promotion will cost less and be more effective.
Claim 1: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates of Trade and Technology Programs is mainly the job of government.
Claim 2:Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates is mainly the job of the graduate.
1. I believe that claim #1 is more honest. 2. it is the job of the government to secure large construction contracts in order to create jobs and job security for graduates. but I do think it is the job of the graduate to be prepared and knowledgeable in their field in order to get one of these jobs. - mark hanes
1. I believe claim #2 to be more honest. 2. Because in this day and age, if someone want a job, he or she has to put his or her own name out there and make something of themselves. Expecting the government to get you there is a futile waste of time.
I agree with claim #2 because it is our responsibility to get a job. we cant expect things to be handed to us. we are given the tools and we have to go out and promote ourselves. the government does need to open up as many jobs as possible but it is our responsibility to go out and get one.
Claim 1, I believe this is the right because its our responsibility to get our education and know how to do the job correctly, there for the government should have jobs available for us to earn a living.
Claim 1: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates of Trade and Technology Programs is mainly the job of government.
Claim 2:Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates is mainly the job of the graduate.
The claim I think is the most honest is claim 2. The reason I think claim 2 is the most honest is because as a graduate it is your goal to get a job and you shouldn't require the government to get one for you. A graduate got to school on their own and did their work on their own and they therefore do not need the government to be a babysitter and start looking out for their best interests now. The government is designed for individuals based on the needs of the masses, not the needs of the masses based on the individual. Therefore, the person searching for employment needs to promote themselves and worry about themselves and let the government worry about those who can not do for themselves. In an interview it will be up to the individual to promote the best they have to offer based on merit and experience. If the government gets involved they would start giving people jobs on criteria individuals who are best suited for the job might not meet that have nothing to do with the job itself such as demand for visible minorities, gender balancing or native people.
1. I agree with claim #2 People who want to be hired must got an acquire employment rather than wait for it to present itself.
2. Those who do not work, do not eat. Only potential employees who show initiative and a desire for employment will be worthwhile hires. By leaving the agency in question to the agent, it creates a self-moderating system where employees who have the drive to achieve outcomes favourable to them will always be the ones who make themselves known to employers. Whereas the ones who would not seek employment i.e. the ones who lack the motivation to be worthwhile employees do not get hired.
I agree with claim #1. If the government was to open more jobs for graduates, A lot more people would be inclined to take trades as the job market would be larger and easier to succeed in.
Claim # 1: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates of Trade and Technology Program is mainly the job of government.
Claim # 2: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates is mainly the job of the graduate.
In all honesty. I do agree partially with both claims. As both have relevance to employment. If I were to favor one of the claims more than the other, I would naturally pick claim two. Reason being is the fact that we are all able to choose our own futures depending on how we adapt. There is a market everywhere. It's how we choose to pursue it. Mind you, in regards to option number one. I am a believer that the government is the governing body in setting up a infrastructure to help individuals gain employment.
Some skills which depend on the initiative of the student or apprentice are to focus on the market, communication, knowledge to get essentially, the "best bang for the buck" when it comes to employment.
I think that claim 2 is more honest because the government does provide many jobs for graduates although it is the graduates job to prove themselves and their skills to the employers who they choose to be employed by.
1. I agree with claim number 2. 2. I think this claim is more honest cause people shouldn't rely on the government to give them a job/career , yes they should create more jobs for the province so people don't have to move away to work but not just give them away. Its your responsibility to get your self ready and create a good resume, portfolio and communication skills for an interview and go out there and look for a job and what opportunities are out there
I think claim 1 is the most honest. I believe so because the government has the power to do something about it so they should be the ones that are out there creating jobs. With that being said it is also up to the individual to go out there and do his or her part in getting a job.
Claim 1:Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates of trade and technology programs is mainly the job of the government
Claim 2: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates is mainly the job of the graduates
I personally agree with claim number 2 I think it is up to the graduate to create jobs and opportunity for themselves. The government may create some jobs for graduates but it is up to the graduate to get out there get there name in and give there self a opportunity to get one of these positions you have to go out and advertise are skills and knowledge of our trade yourself to these employees.
I believe claim #2 is most honest. I believe that finding a job is totally in the hands of the graduate.If you want a job bad enough I believe that you should be able to take the initiative of going out and finding it instead of having it given to you by the government.
I feel that claim 2 is more accurate. It should be the job of job seekers to promote themselves and find employment. That said, I feel that the promotion of available employment should be on employers. Our economy isn't so hot right now and jobs are not easy to find, so when jobs open up, I think the employer should promote that.
I believe that number one is the more honest claim. This is because government has more power and influence over the economy and that includes the job market. By having that type of power and or influence they should be responsible to create jobs for people. How can a person get employed if they cannot find a proper job opportunity, this is why there is so many people going out west for work instead of staying in Nova Scotia. The government wants you to stay and work in Nova Scotia but it's hard to find a job around here and it's even harder to find a job where you can make a decent living off the low wages.
It is on the graduate to find jobs in the field they want to work in. you cannot rely on other people or the government to create and find a job for you. However I do believe that the government should create jobs to keep nova scotian people home instead of heading out west or Newfoundland for work.
I believe claim 2 to be the most Honest. I feel we need to understand that government does have a role to play in the promotion activity to create jobs providing support for our economy. However I believe that as I aim to be a graduate myself that I should be doing all I can to promote the idea from inside the educational system that way when I graduate it will be easier to get a job and I should continue to promote it even after I have achieved my goals, to support other graduates in the trade!!!
I Believe claim 2 is the most honest because you have to put the work in to graduate, so you should be able to earn a job without help of the government by using your skills and going out and getting what you want.
I believe that claim #2 to be most honest because as adults, we are responsible to promote ourselves to potential employers and prove our skills and abilities.
1. I believe that Claim #2 would be the proper way to go.
2. The reason why is because that the government does provide a lot of jobs in the world however though it is the responsibility of the graduate to take advantage of this and create their own opportunity to obtain one of this jobs in the world and not to rely on the government to just hand them a job just because they have the qualifications.
I will say claim 2 is more honest , the government cant always and wont always help you get a job so even if claim one was more honest then people wouldn't have to go look for a job , and I trust my self more with getting a job than any one else
I believe claim #2 is the most honest because when the government gives away jobs you are more likely to get people who aren't as hard workers as the other people that had to work for the job and actually want to do the job right and do it well.
I would say claim #2 to be the most honest out of them because the government has proven in the past that they wont always help you get a job. This is a good thing because it makes people go to school and higher their skills so that they can promote themselves and get a great job.
I believe claim 1 is more true. I believe this because as students it is hard to find and be accepted for jobs (being apprentices) as we are still learning and most companies want workers who can jump right with no training required. Without jobs and incentives for employers to hire apprentices, then how would we be able to get a job if nobody wants someone who isn't fully trained already.
I believe claim 2 is most honest because in reality you come to school and study your trade then you are put out in the work world to find yourself a career which best suits your interests and if the government just supplied the graduates with a job than the graduates wouldn't be as motivated to be high achievers and get the best marks they can get, they would just go to get by cause they would know as soon as they are finished the program their job is waiting for them.
I believe claim #2 is most honest. I believe that finding a job is totally in the hands of the graduate. If you want a job bad enough I believe that you should be able to take the initiative of going out and finding a job yourself. You should get what you work for. But, the government has to make jobs for us to apply for.
I think that claim #2 is more honest because I believe that it is our responsibility as graduates to find our own job opportunity. I believe the government should help find us jobs if we are having trouble, but it is our responsibility to find a job and it would still be our responsibility to get the government to help.
I believe that claim 2 is more correct then claim 1 because at the end of the day no one is looking out for me more then I am myself. The government cares a certain degree if I get a job or not because it helps out there unemployment numbers, but when it comes down to it no one will lose sleep over me not getting a job after graduating.
I think claim 2 is more honest because the government does have jobs for graduates but it is up to them to go out and find work and have the right skills for the job
I believe Claim 2 is more honest. The reasons for this are because it is true that you need to go to another province to receive more hours and the government is allowing this to happen to bring back tradesman to the east coast. In Claim 1 they are saying even id an employer is saying no you can still get hired on. Yes they have facts indicating the hiring scale but in know way they are able to present you with the information to succeed in getting hired even if an employer says no.
I believe that claim #1 is an honest claim, based on facts and was well put together. I believe that claim #2 isn't an honest claim, it has no facts to support what he is saying.
I think claim 2# is more true. the government makes it very possible for graduates to find a job, and it is up the graduate to find a job and not the government give them a job, but the government has to create jobs across the country not just one region of the country
Good blog Dave, much more user friendly. I believe claim 2 is the most honest because Nova Scotia's government isn't creating enough jobs because there not expanding the enconomy enough to create enough good paying jobs for graduate's in Trades and Technology. Its the responsibility of the graduate to find work. Now having said that it goes and in hand to, the government should be giving more job opportunity but the graduate needs to dig in and get there head in the door to make more job opportunity for themselves and others. Ultimately in the end the graduate needs to be responsible for find a job.
I believe claim #1 to be more honest. I think that it is more honest because I believe that it is absolutely the governments responsibility to make sure they are doing everything they can to be creating jobs especially for new workers entering the workforce. Of course there is responsibility on the person to get themselves out there looking for work but if there are no jobs to be had then at the end of the day the government is not doing their job very well.
"What are some skills which depend on the initiative of the student or apprentice?"
-Studying -Completing tasks by deadline -Organization -Job search
I tend to take a lot of initiative when it comes to succeeding in my career path. I always study for tests, I ask lots of questions, and I try to stay as organized as possible. This makes the process easier for me and while some may see it as extra work, it pays off in the end. Not only is my hard work recognized, it will get me a better job.
1. I am siding with Claim 1. I believe the government is responsible for creating jobs and boosting our economy.
2. The reason for choosing Claim 1 is that the creation of jobs falls on the government. If there is no jobs, trades men or anyone can't find work. Its not easy to create your own job nor would it make sense for everyone to do so, The government must build the economy so that there can be more work and city, province, town can thrive. The government is responsible for creating the Jobs, Tradesmen and students are responsible for finding, applying and working in these jobs.
Between the two, I'd say Claim #1 makes more sense. It is part of the government's duties to provide job opportunities to citizens. They don't necessarily need to market these jobs to graduates specifically, they just need to put jobs out there.
Although the economy has a large impact on the available jobs, it's not fair to say that graduates must create new job opportunities. Graduates have the ability to travel to find work, school just prepares them for a job in their field of study. That doesn't necessarily mean graduates will find jobs in their hometown, although it's possible. The government must give people the opportunity to boost the economy. Therefore, it's their duty to provide jobs to the graduates and everyone else.
Between the two claims I would have to say that claim 2 is the most honest due to the fact that overtime the government has proven that they will not help everyone get a job. Due to that fact, drives individuals to attend school and be educated to gain skills in certain fields in order for those individuals to be hired.
2. Because in reality test scores and actual work are very different things, and we as carpenters need to beadle to apply what we know and have communication skills so that we can grow and learn.
I'd agree with claim # 2 I agree with this because a graduate that works and prepares for a job would be much more valuable to an employer than one that relies on the government for work.

I think claim 1 is the most honest. I believe that it is because the government has the most power so they should be the ones creating jobs for graduates.
ReplyDelete1. I think claim 1 is more honest
ReplyDelete2. I believe this because claim 2 says to create jobs should be the graduates problem, but if there are no jobs how can the graduates work. That's why I think claim 1 is more honest because the government should be reliable for creating jobs for the graduates
In my opinion, claim Two sounds appropriate because I believe it is not the governments job to find new graduates work or job placement but the new graduates responsibility for him/herself.
ReplyDeleteHowever, claim One suggests that the government should help. I do believe the government should help but only with some basic person skills such as Communications, Basic computer skills, Resumes, Portfolio etc., to help the new graduate/s build enough skills to feel confident about going into the world to find their desired employment/apprenticeship.
claim one is the most honest how ever i believe it should be the students job to find a work. if you have a hard time finding work. step back look at your portfolio and find ways to improve your skills.
ReplyDeletemy opinion is claim #2 Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates is mainly the job of the graduate.
ReplyDeleteI chose this one because it should be are responsibility to properly be set up for a job interview an be able to provide job skills and communication skills , problem solving skills to the employer. an we should be the ones out looking for the jobs instead of the government making jobs for us. when the jobs are out there we just need to find them
I believe in claim # 2 I think it is the graduates own responsibility to create job opportunity's and promote themselves enough to get the job, but I do also think it is the governments responsibility to have jobs here in this province for us to apply for.
ReplyDelete1. I agree with claim #1 because the government should be creating jobs for graduates of Trade and Technology diplomas.
ReplyDelete2.The reason why I believe that the government should be the ones to promote and create jobs is because they have the resources necessary to create jobs and they also have the money to promote them

An apprentice should have skills in reading, writing , math, and computers. They should be good at talking to people. the appreintice should be able to repeatedly learn ner things. and be good with computer communication..
ReplyDelete-I believe that the Economy of Nova Scotia could benefit for finding work for their apprentices because allot of graduartes find themselves not being able to find work in their field. Lots of people end up not even using their degree. If the government were to find jobs for their graduates there would be a better rate of employment within Nova Scotia.
1. I believe in claim 2 more so than claim 1
ReplyDelete2. I believe this is the truth because the government can only do so much, things like deals with Alberta are good, but there should still be an outstanding expectation that can only be achieved by great self promotion. This includes a good cover letter, resume, portfolio, and interview skills.
1. It is on the graduate to find and create jobs in the field in which they want to work in. you cannot rely on the Gov' to create and find a job for you.
ReplyDelete2.however I do believe that the Gov' should create jobs to keep nova scotians in NS and if they don't the graduate will find/create someplace else.
I think claim #1 is the most honest. The macro-economy of the nation depends on good national policy and direction. While local economies are subject to fluctuations but the overall health of a national economy depends on the government.
ReplyDeleteWhat are some skills that depend on the initiative of the student or apprentice?
ReplyDeleteBefore reading these articles, my initial thought was that all skills are dependent on the initiative of the student or apprentice. And to some degree they are. I believe it’s the governments’ responsibility to have educational systems in place to teach skills and to market the appropriately. This being said, I understand that it’s each individual persons’ duty to push themselves to learn these skills and apply them. I am convinced that this should be applied to all skills.
I choose claim # 2
ReplyDeleteI think it is the apprentices own responsibility to create job opportunity's and push themselves hard enough to get the job, but looking back at claim one I also think it is the governments responsibility to have jobs here in this province for us to apply for.
i chose claim #2 but i feel the government does need to create jobs just not give them away. i feel like if jobs are being given away trades people will become less motivated to get the best job they can because they know no matter what they will have a job in the end.
ReplyDeleteWhat are some skills which depend on the initiative of the student or apprentice?
ReplyDeleteOne of the 9 skills which an employer is expecting in a student would be computers; specifically if they use the internet, create & save documents, and use emails.
I believe that this would be a handy little activity for anyone who has difficulties with this.

ReplyDelete1. i think number 2 is the most honest
ReplyDeletei think the government does need to create jobs and not just not give them away. like if jobs are being given away trades people will become less motivated to get the best job and grades and not do as well as they can, because they know no matter what they will have a job in the end.
1. I agree with claim number 2
ReplyDelete2. I agree with this claim because it is our job to go to school and get the skills to do work in the trade and to promote ourselves so we can get a good paying job. it isn't the governments job to do this because if the promote and make jobs for us tradesmen and we cant even do the work properly or have the skills to put ourselves out there then there is no point

my comment
ReplyDeleteI agree with claim number #1 because it is our job to get an education to gain the skills in our trade in order to prove to that we are worth the money we will be getting paid.
ReplyDeleteI feel claim 1 is the most reasonable choice. This is because the government has the most power over the economy, and there for the job market. Thus has the responsibility to govern as well as create/foster opportunity for its people. This being said, the government does not always do this well, but when it does people never seem to notice.
ReplyDelete1. Claim #1 makes the most sense as it is the responsibility of the government to create the jobs for the graduates, thus encouraging more people to not only move to work said job, but also attend local schooling to further boost the provinces benefactors.
ReplyDelete2. My belief is that if a government can understand how tight the job market is, and then they capitalize on it to bring in more jobs, that will then make the job market a little less vicious and allow the graduates an upper hand.
I believe Claim #2 is more honest.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why I believe in this is because it should be up to yourself to push yourself further. The government should not be giving away jobs just to open it up for people. The graduates should have to work for that job by showing their skills/education. The person that deserves it should get it. If the government gave jobs away, there is a chance that the graduates with less skill and less drive will get the job before the more skilled and more driven people.
I believe that claim 2 is most honest,
ReplyDeletethe reason so is that the government does provide lots of jobs for graduates but with that being said it is still the graduates responsibility to show and prove there skills through communication and even demonstration to then be picked by employers.
I believe that the second option to be the truest. I believe this because too much reliance is put on the government to provide jobs and money to people who may not have the proper skills. Therefore, by having the proper interview / job skills one may be more prepared to excel.
ReplyDeleteI would side with claim number 2 on the premises that as a graduate has most control of his/her future. Realistically it is the governments job to supply the jobs, but not hand them out.
ReplyDeleteI believe claim #2 is honest, but holds back a bit of key information. Either way I think it is truth, but only because I believe graduates should take more action, and participate in promotion more. you have to remember graduates just graduated; they don't have cash for advertisement. If the government, schools, and graduates come together, promotion will cost less and be more effective.
ReplyDeleteClaim 1: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates of Trade and Technology Programs is mainly the job of government.
ReplyDeleteClaim 2:Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates is mainly the job of the graduate.
1. I believe that claim #1 is more honest.
2. it is the job of the government to secure large construction contracts in order to create jobs and job security for graduates. but I do think it is the job of the graduate to be prepared and knowledgeable in their field in order to get one of these jobs. - mark hanes
1. I believe claim #2 to be more honest.
ReplyDelete2. Because in this day and age, if someone want a job, he or she has to put his or her own name out there and make something of themselves. Expecting the government to get you there is a futile waste of time.
I agree with claim #2 because it is our responsibility to get a job. we cant expect things to be handed to us. we are given the tools and we have to go out and promote ourselves. the government does need to open up as many jobs as possible but it is our responsibility to go out and get one.
ReplyDeleteClaim number one makes more sense because the government should feel responsible to encourage graduates to stay within their economy.
ReplyDeleteI believe option 2 is more relevant, it should be up to us to promote the reasons why a company should give us a job.
ReplyDeleteClaim 1, I believe this is the right because its our responsibility to get our education and know how to do the job correctly, there for the government should have jobs available for us to earn a living.
ReplyDeleteClaim 1: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates of Trade and Technology Programs is mainly the job of government.
ReplyDeleteClaim 2:Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates is mainly the job of the graduate.
The claim I think is the most honest is claim 2. The reason I think claim 2 is the most honest is because as a graduate it is your goal to get a job and you shouldn't require the government to get one for you. A graduate got to school on their own and did their work on their own and they therefore do not need the government to be a babysitter and start looking out for their best interests now. The government is designed for individuals based on the needs of the masses, not the needs of the masses based on the individual. Therefore, the person searching for employment needs to promote themselves and worry about themselves and let the government worry about those who can not do for themselves. In an interview it will be up to the individual to promote the best they have to offer based on merit and experience. If the government gets involved they would start giving people jobs on criteria individuals who are best suited for the job might not meet that have nothing to do with the job itself such as demand for visible minorities, gender balancing or native people.
1. I agree with claim #2 People who want to be hired must got an acquire employment rather than wait for it to present itself.
ReplyDelete2. Those who do not work, do not eat. Only potential employees who show initiative and a desire for employment will be worthwhile hires. By leaving the agency in question to the agent, it creates a self-moderating system where employees who have the drive to achieve outcomes favourable to them will always be the ones who make themselves known to employers. Whereas the ones who would not seek employment i.e. the ones who lack the motivation to be worthwhile employees do not get hired.
I agree with claim #1. If the government was to open more jobs for graduates, A lot more people would be inclined to take trades as the job market would be larger and easier to succeed in.
ReplyDeleteClaim # 1: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates of Trade and Technology Program is mainly the job of government.
ReplyDeleteClaim # 2: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates is mainly the job of the graduate.
In all honesty. I do agree partially with both claims. As both have relevance to employment. If I were to favor one of the claims more than the other, I would naturally pick claim two. Reason being is the fact that we are all able to choose our own futures depending on how we adapt. There is a market everywhere. It's how we choose to pursue it. Mind you, in regards to option number one. I am a believer that the government is the governing body in setting up a infrastructure to help individuals gain employment.
Some skills which depend on the initiative of the student or apprentice are to focus on the market, communication, knowledge to get essentially, the "best bang for the buck" when it comes to employment.
I think that claim 2 is more honest because the government does provide many jobs for graduates although it is the graduates job to prove themselves and their skills to the employers who they choose to be employed by.
ReplyDelete1. I agree with claim number 2.
ReplyDelete2. I think this claim is more honest cause people shouldn't rely on the government to give them a job/career , yes they should create more jobs for the province so people don't have to move away to work but not just give them away. Its your responsibility to get your self ready and create a good resume, portfolio and communication skills for an interview and go out there and look for a job and what opportunities are out there
I think claim 1 is the most honest. I believe so because the government has the power to do something about it so they should be the ones that are out there creating jobs. With that being said it is also up to the individual to go out there and do his or her part in getting a job.
ReplyDeleteClaim 1:Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates of trade and technology programs is mainly the job of the government
ReplyDeleteClaim 2: Promotion activity to create jobs for graduates is mainly the job of the graduates
I personally agree with claim number 2 I think it is up to the graduate to create jobs and opportunity for themselves. The government may create some jobs for graduates but it is up to the graduate to get out there get there name in and give there self a opportunity to get one of these positions you have to go out and advertise are skills and knowledge of our trade yourself to these employees.
I believe claim #2 is most honest.
ReplyDeleteI believe that finding a job is totally in the hands of the graduate.If you want a job bad enough I believe that you should be able to take the initiative of going out and finding it instead of having it given to you by the government.
I feel that claim 2 is more accurate. It should be the job of job seekers to promote themselves and find employment. That said, I feel that the promotion of available employment should be on employers. Our economy isn't so hot right now and jobs are not easy to find, so when jobs open up, I think the employer should promote that.
ReplyDeleteI believe that number one is the more honest claim. This is because government has more power and influence over the economy and that includes the job market. By having that type of power and or influence they should be responsible to create jobs for people. How can a person get employed if they cannot find a proper job opportunity, this is why there is so many people going out west for work instead of staying in Nova Scotia. The government wants you to stay and work in Nova Scotia but it's hard to find a job around here and it's even harder to find a job where you can make a decent living off the low wages.
ReplyDeleteclaim #2,
ReplyDeleteIt is on the graduate to find jobs in the field they want to work in. you cannot rely on other people or the government to create and find a job for you. However I do believe that the government should create jobs to keep nova scotian people home instead of heading out west or Newfoundland for work.
I believe claim 2 to be the most Honest. I feel we need to understand that government does have a role to play in the promotion activity to create jobs providing support for our economy. However I believe that as I aim to be a graduate myself that I should be doing all I can to promote the idea from inside the educational system that way when I graduate it will be easier to get a job and I should continue to promote it even after I have achieved my goals, to support other graduates in the trade!!!
ReplyDeleteI Believe claim 2 is the most honest because you have to put the work in to graduate, so you should be able to earn a job without help of the government by using your skills and going out and getting what you want.
ReplyDeleteI believe that claim #2 to be most honest because as adults, we are responsible to promote ourselves to potential employers and prove our skills and abilities.
ReplyDelete1. I believe that Claim #2 would be the proper way to go.
ReplyDelete2. The reason why is because that the government does provide a lot of jobs in the world however though it is the responsibility of the graduate to take advantage of this and create their own opportunity to obtain one of this jobs in the world and not to rely on the government to just hand them a job just because they have the qualifications.
I will say claim 2 is more honest , the government cant always and wont always help you get a job so even if claim one was more honest then people wouldn't have to go look for a job , and I trust my self more with getting a job than any one else
ReplyDeleteI believe claim #2 is the most honest because when the government gives away jobs you are more likely to get people who aren't as hard workers as the other people that had to work for the job and actually want to do the job right and do it well.
ReplyDeleteI would say claim #2 to be the most honest out of them because the government has proven in the past that they wont always help you get a job. This is a good thing because it makes people go to school and higher their skills so that they can promote themselves and get a great job.
ReplyDeleteI believe claim 1 is more true. I believe this because as students it is hard to find and be accepted for jobs (being apprentices) as we are still learning and most companies want workers who can jump right with no training required. Without jobs and incentives for employers to hire apprentices, then how would we be able to get a job if nobody wants someone who isn't fully trained already.
ReplyDeleteI believe claim 2 is most honest because in reality you come to school and study your trade then you are put out in the work world to find yourself a career which best suits your interests and if the government just supplied the graduates with a job than the graduates wouldn't be as motivated to be high achievers and get the best marks they can get, they would just go to get by cause they would know as soon as they are finished the program their job is waiting for them.
ReplyDeleteI believe claim #2 is most honest.
ReplyDeleteI believe that finding a job is totally in the hands of the graduate. If you want a job bad enough I believe that you should be able to take the initiative of going out and finding a job yourself. You should get what you work for. But, the government has to make jobs for us to apply for.
I think that claim #2 is more honest because I believe that it is our responsibility as graduates to find our own job opportunity. I believe the government should help find us jobs if we are having trouble, but it is our responsibility to find a job and it would still be our responsibility to get the government to help.
ReplyDeleteI believe that claim 2 is more correct then claim 1 because at the end of the day no one is looking out for me more then I am myself. The government cares a certain degree if I get a job or not because it helps out there unemployment numbers, but when it comes down to it no one will lose sleep over me not getting a job after graduating.
ReplyDeleteI think claim 2 is more honest because the government does have jobs for graduates but it is up to them to go out and find work and have the right skills for the job
ReplyDeleteI believe Claim 2 is more honest. The reasons for this are because it is true that you need to go to another province to receive more hours and the government is allowing this to happen to bring back tradesman to the east coast.
ReplyDeleteIn Claim 1 they are saying even id an employer is saying no you can still get hired on. Yes they have facts indicating the hiring scale but in know way they are able to present you with the information to succeed in getting hired even if an employer says no.
I believe that claim #1 is an honest claim, based on facts and was well put together.
ReplyDeleteI believe that claim #2 isn't an honest claim, it has no facts to support what he is saying.
I think claim 2# is more true.
ReplyDeletethe government makes it very possible for graduates to find a job, and it is up the graduate to find a job and not the government give them a job, but the government has to create jobs across the country not just one region of the country
I think claim #2 because the government does give us job opportunities and creates jobs but it is more of the graduates job to find themselves a job.
ReplyDeleteGood blog Dave, much more user friendly. I believe claim 2 is the most honest because Nova Scotia's government isn't creating enough jobs because there not expanding the enconomy enough to create enough good paying jobs for graduate's in Trades and Technology. Its the responsibility of the graduate to find work. Now having said that it goes and in hand to, the government should be giving more job opportunity but the graduate needs to dig in and get there head in the door to make more job opportunity for themselves and others. Ultimately in the end the graduate needs to be responsible for find a job.
ReplyDeleteI believe claim #1 to be more honest. I think that it is more honest because I believe that it is absolutely the governments responsibility to make sure they are doing everything they can to be creating jobs especially for new workers entering the workforce. Of course there is responsibility on the person to get themselves out there looking for work but if there are no jobs to be had then at the end of the day the government is not doing their job very well.
ReplyDelete"What are some skills which depend on the initiative of the student or apprentice?"
ReplyDelete-Studying
-Completing tasks by deadline
-Organization
-Job search
I tend to take a lot of initiative when it comes to succeeding in my career path. I always study for tests, I ask lots of questions, and I try to stay as organized as possible. This makes the process easier for me and while some may see it as extra work, it pays off in the end. Not only is my hard work recognized, it will get me a better job.
1. Based on the information provided, I think that the government is responsible for creating more jobs for emerging trades people.
ReplyDelete2. I think this because the government has the power, connections, and resources to create more jobs.
1. I am siding with Claim 1. I believe the government is responsible for creating jobs and boosting our economy.
ReplyDelete2. The reason for choosing Claim 1 is that the creation of jobs falls on the government. If there is no jobs, trades men or anyone can't find work. Its not easy to create your own job nor would it make sense for everyone to do so, The government must build the economy so that there can be more work and city, province, town can thrive. The government is responsible for creating the Jobs, Tradesmen and students are responsible for finding, applying and working in these jobs.
Between the two, I'd say Claim #1 makes more sense. It is part of the government's duties to provide job opportunities to citizens. They don't necessarily need to market these jobs to graduates specifically, they just need to put jobs out there.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the economy has a large impact on the available jobs, it's not fair to say that graduates must create new job opportunities. Graduates have the ability to travel to find work, school just prepares them for a job in their field of study. That doesn't necessarily mean graduates will find jobs in their hometown, although it's possible. The government must give people the opportunity to boost the economy. Therefore, it's their duty to provide jobs to the graduates and everyone else.
Between the two claims I would have to say that claim 2 is the most honest due to the fact that overtime the government has proven that they will not help everyone get a job. Due to that fact, drives individuals to attend school and be educated to gain skills in certain fields in order for those individuals to be hired.
ReplyDelete1. I feel claim two is more honest
ReplyDelete2. Because in reality test scores and actual work are very different things, and we as carpenters need to beadle to apply what we know and have communication skills so that we can grow and learn.
I'd agree with claim # 2 I agree with this because a graduate that works and prepares for a job would be much more valuable to an employer than one that relies on the government for work.
