  • The College Advantage
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ÉDUQ The College Advantage: Private Sector Innovation & Highly Qualified Personnel Report to the Director Higher Education Research and Development Policy Directorate Industry Canada Prepared by Roger Fisher Fanshawe College © March 2008 Executive Summary • Since 2002 there has been a dramatic increase in the capacity of colleges to conduct applied research in support of Canada’s innovation agenda. This capacity has been demonstrated through a wide range of applied research and innovation activities. • Canadian colleges are playing an increasingly important role in augmenting the innovative capacity and competitiveness of Canada’s SMEs, and providing key transformational changes for business, industry, and individuals alike. In response to “market pull”, colleges are increasingly focused on solving problems for small local businesses and helping them to survive and thrive by adopting new technologies and launching new and improved products and processes. • Canada’s colleges are frontline players in addressing the changing technological and skills requirements of the 21st century Canadian marketplace. Applied research activities extend and enhance the college mandate to produce current, well prepared workers by providing rich learning activities for today’s students to experience real world challenges, hands-on training with leading edge technologies, contact with industry, and advanced skills training in all sectors of the economy. • Colleges are active participants in an ever-expanding pan-Canadian array of networks, associations, and consortia established in every region of the country. • Colleges have successfully obtained research funding through government sources and through private sector partnerships, thereby adding capacity and consistently demonstrating both short term benefits and the potential for longer term economic benefits.
