Each week, CERIC is on the lookout for the latest reports related to career development. Here are five reports that we found interesting this week:
Information Technology Related Skills and Training Needs in Northern Alberta (Academica Group)
The overarching goal of this project is to understand Northern Alberta’s information technology (IT)-related skills and training needs in light of recent rapid changes and advancements in the IT field, thereby strengthening the ability of northern post-secondary institutions to prepare for the future needs of their students, communities and industries.
Indigenous Student Experiences with Racism in Winnipeg (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives)
This research finds that Indigenous students at the University of Winnipeg are facing significant racism and discrimination as they work to improve their lives and futures. Although the official multiculturalism narrative of the federal government suggests that Canadians are liberal, tolerant and accepting of diversity, the data collected here suggests that many still consider it acceptable to insult, discriminate against and/or marginalize Indigenous Peoples in a wide range of contexts.
