Humber College currently employs about 200 Research Assistants each year and this number is expected to grow as Humber builds its research practice and capabilities. Contracts are typically 4-8 months long. This project will involve researching, prototyping and launching a new mentoring program for Research Assistants at Humber College. The focus of this mentoring program is to equip RAs from equity-deserving groups with a robust set of skills related to best practices in applied research. The intent is to build their capacity in their RA role as they launch into their careers.
