  • Polytechnics & the Future of Work
    POLYTECHNICS & THE FUTURE OF WORK PREPARING TODAY’S LEARNERS FOR TOMORROW’S WORKFORCE Preparing for Disruption The signs of change are everywhere. Automation, artificial intelligence and the Internet-of- Things are becoming commonplace across economic sectors, even in traditional fields like agriculture, forestry and resource extraction. At the same time, demographics are working against us, amplifying the requirement for strategic workforce development. Disruption, regardless of its source, calls for swift action to prepare Canadians with the skills they need to adapt to new realities. While the changing nature of work often provokes fear about the shrinking role of people in the labour market, it is becoming clear that new jobs will be created and many more transformed. In fact, report after report on the future of work speaks to the skills that set humans apart, including dynamic problem-solving, teamwork and adaptability. The challenge is to develop the workforce we need today while empowering learners with the skills to succeed tomorrow. The future of work will rely on our capacity to make lifelong learning affordable, accessible and integrated with workplace culture. In this environment, one thing is clear: Canada’s polytechnics are ideally positioned to lead the charge. Among Canada’s post-secondary institutions, polytechnics have proven themselves to be adaptable, agile and well-connected to industry. They deliver up-to-date and in-demand skills across sectors and to all age groups. They support hands-on, applied and technology-enabled classroom and workplace learning. Best of all, they have the unique ability to pivot quickly as the ground shifts.

  • Sierra Leone: the Perpetual Struggle for Security
    Sierra Leone: the Perpetual Struggle for Security Between 1991 and 2002, the Sierra Leone civil war left approximately 70,000 people dead, hundreds of thousands mutilated and displaced over half of the population of five million.1 This tragedy is a result of various factors that became intertwined. The country’s “historical, cultural, sociological and political milieu” combined with the complexities of natural resources and economic issues all “contributed to and fueled the conflict.”2 The aim of this research is to investigate the severity of events and violent acts along with how society functions today that can provide pertinent information on Sierra Leone’s stability and what threats to security may currently exist or are likely to occur. Analyzing such a historical event and its aftermath provides crucial information on what is lacking in peace efforts and the significant gaps in programs that hinder developing and maintaining stability in countries that have experienced conflict. The atrocities committed during the civil war are infamous to Sierra Leone. A decade of violence that included drug-induced children who “hacked off the limbs of thousands of civilians, including women and babies,”3 has left a psychological imprint on a nation. Sierra Leone’s civil war and its aftermath can be held as a prime example when attempting to predict probable outcomes and possible solutions in similar conflicts. Examining the situation in post-conflict Sierra Leone can assess the effectiveness of its DDR (disarmament, demobilization and reintegration) program and what issues have remained persistent that can be properly addressed in current and future dilemmas, such as the marginalization of girls.

  • Annual Report2012
    Annual Report2012 Expertise Knowledge Opportunity Leadership Gaining Momentum Over the past year, the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) has been engaging with decision-makers and practitioners, capitalizing on a wealth of opportunities in Canada and abroad, and building on the major changes initiated by our membership task force in 2011. Leadership • The theme of this annual report is Gaining Momentum, chosen to reflect CBIE’s increasing strength, breadth and visibility as an organization, as well as the expanding awareness and support for international education across Canada — in educational institutions, governments, business, media, and the general public. While focal points and terms may differ — study abroad, international student mobility, education exports, internationalization — overall recognition of the value of international education is clearly gaining momentum. CBIE will continue to play a central role in expanding knowledge of and support for international education over the coming years. In 2011-12, we advocated for greater focus on international education, and were gratified at the appointment of the Advisory Panel on Canada’s International Education Strategy by the federal government. We provided substantial input to the Panel, participating in the majority of its consultations and engaging with the Panel’s Chair and members at our 2011 conference. Opportunity • We continued to build the Canadian Consortium for International Education Marketing (CCIEM), comprising the five leading organizations representing the vast majority of the education sector in Canada. We worked to raise the profile of CCIEM with senior leaders and with the public, making the case for a key role for CCIEM in action plans pertaining to international education.
