What Humber’s COI Network Offers Students

Preparing for your career in today’s workforce is challenging. Even when you find a steady job, you never know when new technology or a change in the economy will affect your role or business.

That is why you hear a lot about innovation—because in 2022, people have to keep adding skills and reinventing themselves if they want to succeed.

Humber’s COI Network helps students meet today’s challenges and become innovators.

We do that by giving them the room to succeed.

The COI Network enables students to apply the skills and knowledge they have learned in class and apply them to real-world situations–providing them with hands-on work experience to explore career options and bolstering their resumes in the process.

We also allow students to master cutting-edge technologies and the latest processes used within industries. The COI Network gives that same opportunity to alumni and those looking to retrain or upskill, whether they want to make a change in their careers or keep up-to-date with best practices in their industry.

And we help students explore the world of entrepreneurship, empowering them with mentorship and resources to be in-house innovators with an existing company or the mindset and support they need to launch their own business.

Student Testimonials

"I found the Launch Me competition on Humber’s Longo Centre for Entrepreneurship website. I registered for the business plan writing and pitch presentation classes, which were essential to the creation of my business, Glowvine Candles. I applied to the competition with my business plan and moved on to the finalist round, where we had to present our pitch to a panel of judges. It was highly nerve-wracking but worth it." Xana Mills, Founder and Creator of GlowVine Candles, 2021 Launch Me Competition Winner

"It was an honour to be a part of this Fellowship. It not only provided each of us with professional experience and valuable education—it also gave us the opportunity to produce something that we can be truly proud of. Personally, this summer significantly changed my direction as a creative professional moving forward. I’d highly recommend this opportunity." Peter Holbrook, ICMF 2021 Fellow

"The Cyber-Physical factory in the Barrett CTI is an incredible learning tool that helped me build an understanding of the various technologies and processes present in manufacturing today. It incorporates programming practices and techniques in a controlled environment, but gives me the freedom to explore the limitations of the various systems, and the flexibility to work around them." David VanAmelsvoort, Research Assistant Barrett CTI
