CICan has issued a statement outlining how the country’s colleges and institutes can help support the goals outlined by the Government of Canada. The organization points to several opportunities for action at the intersection of Canada’s challenges, the federal government’s priorities, and the opportunities for postsecondary education. These include introducing greater supports for non-traditional learners, building new models for opportunities like microcredentials and PLAR, and national coordination on credential and competency recognition. “Canadians are asking for change, reassurance, and confidence in public institutions following what has been called the most consequential election since the end of the Second World War – and our sector is front and centre in this national frame,” states CICan.
