Alister Mathieson, VP, Advancement and External Affairs, and Dr. Tran Tho Dat, Rector, National Economics University in Hanoi are among global partners launching the pilot project. 

Humber, along with global partners in Japan, Vietnam and Taiwan, has launched a pilot project called the Global Learning Hub, in which a Centre for Teaching and Learning is established in a new or emerging global market in partnership with a local institution.

In the local Hub, Humber and our host partner will collaborate to offer a range of jointly-delivered programming including English language training and teaching English as a second language. Customized teacher training and other postsecondary programs will provide Humber credentials and pathways to advanced level studies.

The Global Learning Hub will pilot in three locations with three innovative polytechnic partners. They are: National Economics University in Hanoi, Vietnam; HungKuang University in Taichung, Taiwan; and Kansai Gaidai University in Osaka, Japan.

As a key element of Humber’s Internationalization strategy, the Global Learning Hubs support our institutional vision of transforming postsecondary education through global polytechnic leadership.

In building a presence in new locations, the Hubs will enhance Humber’s international recruitment efforts and market diversification, while also providing study abroad and work integrated learning experience for students and professional development opportunities for faculty.

The first Global Learning Hub is scheduled to open in Hanoi in April. Read more at international.humber.ca/blog/polytechnic-identity/global-learning-hubs.html.
