IntegratED

IntegratED is a project that creates innovative, demand led, labour market solutions for STEM industries by:‍

Training, integrating, and retaining the skills & talent of post-secondary students, including newcomers and international students
Overcoming barriers to employment prior to & after post-secondary graduation
Building the talent economy in Manitoba to meet the current and emerging needs of employers

The first pilot projects placed students in consulting roles within Manitoba's Food and Beverage industry, allowing them to gain real-world experience and help businesses solve operational problems, enhancing their capacity to compete in the market. WIL projects were offered by Dr. Dua (University of Manitoba) in 4th year Food Science and Human Nutrition courses, and focused on food production, safety and regulations.

In this first pilot, 140 students took part in our work-integrated learning (WIL) industry project. 50 WIL projects were created, working with 24 unique food and beverage sector employers. 70% of participants were International students from the University of Manitoba.
