Experimenting with new ways of working: Aga Khan Museum
As a project born during the pandemic, the Intercultural and Creative Music Fellowship with the Aga Khan Museum and the CCBI had to be different from the outset. Students were hired part-time to collaborate to produce an original music composition and a short documentary-style video, inspired by the Aga Khan’s vast collection of Islamic art, literature and history. Because the museum staff were freed of physical restrictions on who they could recruit to participate, they were able to reach outside of the Toronto area for an artist to mentor the students and guide their work.
Retrain and recertify your teams: Magna
The Humber Strategic Vision for Entrepreneurship incorporates training and education as the foundation, networking and workshops that build on in-class and experiential learning, and providing access to expertise and resources through existing networks.
Shape your future workforce: Festo
Partnering with the COI Network is more than just a chance for organizations to retrain their teams—it is a chance to collaborate with us to make sure their future workforce has the skills partners need before they hire them. Many of our partners, including international manufacturer Festo, know that partnering with Humber allows them to be part of the discussions around what gets taught in the classroom. This helps to bridge the skills gap between colleges and businesses that pays big dividends down the road.
Amplify your brand: BMO funding
Humber students are always finding success in new and exciting ways, with incredible stories that make us proud of them every day. We have so many opportunities for partners to give our students the room to succeed by donating, sharing their expertise, and collaborating on new projects. Just last year, BMO Financial Group announced Humber College will receive $750,000 over five years for the next generation of business leaders at our Longo CfE. The funding supports the BMO Launch Me Competition, which provides students with the opportunity to develop and pitch business ideas and receive critical resources to support their start-ups. The new money has allowed Longo CfE to provide better support to women, BIPOC, and disabled entrepreneurs and add three new pitch streams.
