Carroll said knowledge delivery has to keep up and communities which adapt will see remarkable growth.

"In Moncton, they've opened a flight college to capitalize on the massive growth and need for employees in the worldwide aviation industry," said Carroll.

"Two-thirds of their students are from Asia and they've had to hire five new cooks to provide food for those students. "In Owen Sound, they've been operating the Georgian College Great Lakes international marine training school for years to teach students from around the world the latest technology in shipping and marine navigation systems."

Carroll said there's no reason why communities with similar localized expertise, knowledge and skill sets can't offer similar training to people who may well move on to seek work elsewhere.

"In the future, the focus will be on just-in-time training," said Carroll. "Those communities, businesses and individuals who understand that will prosper."
