Over the years, this nation has produced incredible and innovative individuals, from inventors like Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, to artists as varied as Andy Warhol and Georgia O’Keefe. Hollywood has given us amazing performances from legends such as Meryl Streep and James Dean.

Happy 150th Birthday Canada!

150 years of Canadian confederation.

PrintCongrats, Canada! As of July 1, you will be 150 years old. That’s 150 years of history, culture, and so much more.

Canada has given much to the world, from the arts and sciences to business, and more. Dr. Art McDonald won a Nobel Prize together with his Japanese partner Takaaki Kajita for their work on neutrinos. Researchers, like Richard Sutton and Yoshua Bengio, are known the world over for their innovative artificial intelligence techniques. And, unique, modern jewelry is being made every day by designers such as Frank Gehry.

At Movin’ On Up, we’d like to extend a big thank you to our Canadian readers. Thanks for sticking with us!

Celebrate Engineer’s Week

CCO17_EngineersWeek_FacebookConstant changes in technology are revolutionizing the workforce, creating a high demand for engineers at above average salaries. This week, we celebrate engineers in the United States and strive to educate the future workforce about the advantages of engineering and technology careers as part of Engineer’s Week. Canada will take part in the efforts next month as part of National Engineering Month.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 93 out of 100 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) jobs have wages above the national average, and the field more than doubled the number of jobs from 2009 to 2015 than non-STEM fields.

The employment outlook for engineering students is also strong in Canada, where retiring Baby Boomers are leaving plenty of open positions.

Check out these infographics below for more statistics on the demand for engineers:
