  • Colleges Ontario Network for Industry Innovation
    Colleges Ontario Network for Industry Innovation CONII PROJECT CONII is a three-year project funded by the Ontario government. It is a network of ten Ontario Colleges that was formed in November, 2006, to advance the commercialization of applied research in partnership with industry. Seneca is the lead college and the other colleges are Algonquin, Centennial, Conestoga, Fanshawe, George Brown, Humber, Niagara, Sheridan and St. Clair. Each college represents an industry sector node. Centennial and George Brown jointly form the Health and Life Sciences sector node. Commercialization of applied research or technology transfer is gaining increasing support from both federal and provincial governments and private sector funders such as venture capitalists. Recognition is also growing among businesses that would like to market launch their products and services as quickly as possible and achieve profitability. CONII is especially well positioned to partner with industry in joint commercialization projects because the colleges have always responded to industry needs and their research has always aimed for practical outcomes. The potential for innovation is especially strong for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and again, the SME segment is where the colleges are perceived as highly approachable and therefore engage most successfully. OBJECTIVES The short term objectives of CONII are to provide seed funding for Proof of Principle (POP) projects, jointly executed by an SME business and a CONII college. Typically the funding per project would be $10,000 and the duration would be 12 months or less. Each CONII college plans to engage in two POP projects per year. OUTCOMES A concrete deliverable is expected to result from a POP project, which would lead to further development towards a commercially successful deliverable.

  • Meeting the Needs of Underrepresented Populations in College Academic Upgrading Programs April 2006
    Meeting the Needs of Underrepresented Populations in College Academic Upgrading Programs April 2006 Prepared by: College Sector Committee for Adult Upgrading Funded by: Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities Acknowledgements Innovative Approaches and Promising Directions was a major research initiative which committed to a high level of inclusiveness. It gave managers, faculty, support staff, and students at all colleges the opportunity to provide input on a variety of important topics pertaining to Academic Upgrading. These included the following: “What do colleges do well?”; “Where could colleges improve?”; and most significantly, “What should colleges do next?” Achieving the objectives of such a large research project in a short time period (January to March 2006) required the commitment of many people. The College Sector Committee for Adult Upgrading (CSC) wishes to thank the 610 managers, program delivery staff, and students who participated in the 84 focus groups. They welcomed the researchers, organized the focus groups and most of all provided meaningful insights and strong recommendations about the present and future of college Academic Upgrading. The CSC would particularly like to recognize the 456 students whose input was moving and inspirational. They confirmed the CSC’s belief that Academic Upgrading does make a difference and reminded us that it is really “all about them”! Special thanks are extended to the three researchers who devoted their time and expertise to make this project a success: Stewart Kallio, Bob McIver and Lynne Wallace. They worked as a team from a distance to achieve a shared goal. The term “24/7” really does apply to the commitment that was necessary to get the work done.
