On the third episode of Demystifying Innovation, we talk to Vera Beletzan, senior dean, Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences and Innovative Learning.

Vera explains why she thinks it’s important to have an innovative mindset. When is it good to innovate? How do you nurture a culture of innovation? She shares her experiences, as an educator and leader, navigating the fine line between transformative innovation and going just a bit too far.

Communication skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving are the current buzzwords in the “skills” domain. Soft skills are in high demand.

These skills are now considered critical for success in the workplace, especially as companies and business leaders re-evaluate the skills they require from their employees and prospective job candidates.

As part of a three-year study, researchers from the Office of Research & Innovation (ORI) at Humber College are measuring the impact of experiential learning opportunities on developing the essentially required soft skills that render these individuals job ready.
