M1.6 - Canadian Colleges at a Crossroads: Dreams Realized? - PDF (1MB)
Peter Dietsche, Director, Institutional Research - Humber College Institue of Technology and Advanced Learning

Colleges are about making dreams happen for all kinds of people. Sometimes, however, the dreams are dashed and most often it is the learner that is left feeling guilty. Literature, theory and related research agree on what needs to be done to improve student learning, student success and student retention. But can we change how we deliver mass higher education? This session will outline one method that colleges can use to make this change.

Workshops

M2.1 - Integrating Immigrants into Work and Life in Canada (E/SI)
Mary Davison, Dean, English as a Second Language + Languages - Bow Valley College
Pat Martin, Manager, Centre for Career Advancement - Bow Valley College
Joy McKinnon, Dean, Faculty of Technology - George Brown College
Rose-Marie Nigli, Career Counsellor - George Brown College
Georgia Quartaro, Chair, Centre for Community Services and Development - George Brown College
Anne Sado, President - George Brown College
Lorraine Trotter, Director, Access Centre of Excellence - George Brown College

Canada is increasingly relying on immigrants to address the shortage of skilled labour across the country. Many immigrants have the skills and experience to meet the need, but credentialing, licensing and securing of employment commensurate with skills and experience too often presents difficulties that individuals and families simply cannot resolve. Statistics Canada estimates that 100 percent of labour force growth will be met by immigrants by 2011. It is doubtful that such growth can be realized without strategic intervention.

This session will describe the strategic initiatives launched at Bow Valley College in Calgary and George Brown College in Toronto to address the barriers faced by immigrants. Through presentations and interactive discussion, participants will learn about the systemic changes needed for successful immigrant education and integration as well as a number of recent best practices. Both colleges will present strategic plans that guide the development of immigrant programs and services. They will also examine the progress, in developing of stakeholder relationships, tools and resources and project delivery, of the following projects: Integrating Immigrants to Employment; Bridging Program in a Non-Regulated Sector; Training Employment Counsellors who work with Immigrants and Refugees; Credential Recognition and Employment Preparation.

This sessions will outline SIAST’s achievements to date through the Institute’s systematic approach to learner support including integrated communications portals, information systems and courseware, Technology Enhanced Learning Centres, Start Here tutorials and Help Desk support. The remaining challenges in communications, organization and appropriate help for SIAST's online learners will also be discussed.

Participants will also learn about College of the North Atlantic’s Access for Success project, a provincial strategy designed to address issues and processes related to student success. One of the key components of the project focuses on a Career Development/Structured Advising protocol, currently being piloted at three different sites (with three different types of programs). Results of the pilots, including some of the “lessons learned”, will be shared.

M2.6 - Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies' Career Village (E)
Randell Morris, Vice-President, Academic - Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies
Roger Schindelka, Vice-President, Planning, Development and Research - Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies

Aboriginal individuals seeking education and career support and services are often required to move from agency to agency in order to learn about a personal career development path. This movement or dislocation from services can be a barrier for some individuals. At the same time, organizations that provide services sometimes do so in isolation, with varying success in accessing potential clients or maintaining contact with past clients. Companies are also looking for potential employees outside of the usual job placement efforts.

This session will highlight the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies’ Career Village which houses, under one roof, real and virtual services and serves as a one-stop shop where individuals can move through the stages of personal career development and circumvent the barriers they might experience in accessing multiple agencies. The Village encompasses the needs of the job seeker, the support agency and the employer.

A group of presenters from faculty and administration will focus on different practices from across Canada and propose ideas for institutions in creating policy and processes for this work within the organization.

M2.8 - Identifying and Managing Legal Risk at Canadian Community Colleges (English PowerPoint- 942KB)
Kevin J. Baker, General Counsel - College of the North Atlantic

As stakeholder expectations increase for Canadian community colleges so do the challenges faced by these institutions in meeting these expectations. Nowhere is this truer than in the area of legal and regulatory affairs. This presentation will survey the extant legal and quasi-legal matters confronting and confounding Canadian community colleges and attempt to show that most of these institutions are ill equipped to deal with the challenges of an increasingly regulated and litigious society. Participants will learn about various legal risk management strategies including the role of the typical “in-house” college counsel.

1:45 p.m. - 3:15 p.m.

Robert A. (Squee) Gordon, President - Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning
