Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education (JIPE) is pleased to announce the publication of “The Symbiotic Relationship Between the Classroom Experience, Work Integrated / Experiential Opportunities and Mentorship” by Dr. Cory Ross, Dr. Rajeev Chib, and Isabelle Callahan-Nasser

Abstract:

The world of education, training and employment has changed drastically over the last decade. The need for post-secondary institutions to reach even deeper to their respective partners is imperative. Long gone are the days when students enrol in programming and are matched with a work-related opportunity. The need for these opportunities has grown, and the mosaic of sophistication for the placement is much more complex. A missing part of the matching process of the student and their work-integrated/experiential learning opportunity is the bringing together of a mentorship program embedded in this learning equation. A learning opportunity can last for only a term, while a mentorship relationship can last for life.
