HUMBER COLLEGE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP FUND - REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS NOW OPEN!

Is there a community project that your School or Department is interested in developing with a local community organization? Humber College Schools/Departments are invited to develop and submit proposals that can benefit local children, youth, Aboriginal Peoples and newcomers. If you have identified a need in the community, that your school or department has expertise in addressing, you can submit a proposal for funding through this initiative. Assistance is provided to develop your project concept and connect you with a relevant community agency (if you do not have one) to support you in the writing of your proposal.

The focus of your project concept should be to contribute, in some manner, to increased knowledge/training, exposure and/or access to post-secondary educational possibilities for the target groups listed above. These might include pathways into education, training and/or employment and/or building the organizational capacity of
community agencies who share this same focus. Humber student participation in projects is encouraged as this is an opportunity for them to build their co-curricular record. Their involvement would be an opportunity to deepen and apply theoretical knowledge. However it cannot be tied to grades for their academic program. Students could, for example, be involved as a mentor, volunteer or in a paid position.

E-mail: lynn.vanlieshout@humber.ca to receive funding applications & guidelines, and to discuss possible funding ideas, links to community partners and to refine concepts

SUBMISSIONS DUE: MAY 18, 2018 BY 5:00 P.M.

Dean of Applied Tech Visits Kenya to Transform TVET Programs

Humber's Dean of SAT visits industry partners in Kenya

Dr. Farzad Rayegani, Dean of the School of Applied Technology, recently returned from a capacity-building trip to Kisumu National Polytechnic (NP) in Kenya, as part of the Kenya Education for Employment Project (KEFEP). Funded by Global Affairs Canada through Colleges and Institutes Canada, and implemented by Humber's International Development Insitute (IDI), along with partners Durham College, Selkirk College and Vancouver Island University, KEFEP is helping Kenya to transform its technical and vocational training programs to be more closely aligned with industry, and to graduate students who are equipped to make important contributions to Kenya’s economy.

Working closely with his Kenyan counterparts, Farzad led discussions around the importance of having industry relevant curriculum, and engaging with real-world projects. He facilitated Kisumu NPs first-ever Industry Advisory Committee meeting, and was a key-note speaker and panelist at Kisumu NP’s International Conference on Science technology and Innovations for Wealth Creation and Sustainable Development (March 13-16). During industry visits, Farzad was even able to provide on-the-spot troubleshooting at the Coca-Cola and sugar plants – his industry experience was shining through!

Farzad also participated at Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TEVT) Fair, reviewing student’s projects and provided feedback to faculty and students.

“The future lies in the hands of today's youth around the world, the future is bright. In building that future, global educational engagement like KEFEP is the key”, said Farzad Rayegani. "As a leading global polytechnic institution, it is our vision to create a transformational educational experience locally and around the world through global educational partnerships".

Farzad will be returning to Kenya in November, to lend further expertise to Humber’s partners at Kisumu NP in their new program development, through co-teaching sessions, developing industry projects and classroom observations. Over the next three years, Humber will continue to provide guidance and support to our Kenyan partners as they transition to a competency based, industry-focused approach to curriculum design and delivery.
