In this episode, we delve into the vital topic of apprenticeships, skill labour and their crucial role in shaping our workforce. Apprenticeships offer a robust pathway to careers in skilled trades, balancing hands-on experience with theoretical learning. As industries evolve, the concept of ‘parity of esteem’—valuing vocational training on par with university education—has become increasingly important. Our guest Paul DeJong skilfully guides us through this important conversation.

Parity of Esteem: Valuing Skilled Workers
Thought Farming
Thought Farming addresses issues of politics and culture in Canada from a Prairie perspective. We talk about critical issues in our lives as citizens. These will include questions related to policy and politics, economics and markets, culture and history, technology and faith, and whatever we find in the in-betweens. We will have open and frank discussions and we'll occasionally slay the odd sacred bovine here and there.
The podcast has three feature components:
1. Conversations: a space to discuss events and ideas with leading thinkers
2. Dissections: recordings of recently published op-ed pieces
3. Explorations: a space for quick reactions to leading issues.
