Humber College has received close to $1 million to pursue a project that will help bridge the gap between individuals and employment. The funding comes from The Future Skills Centre (FSC), which is focused on preparing Canadians for the future of work and to meet the needs of Canadian industry.
The annual Capstone Project Expo is the kind of event where students present year-end projects so strong that industry players hire them on the spot.
Humber College’s Information and Communications Technology (ICT) cluster usually hosts the expo, but the COVID-19 restrictions forced a restructuring for 2020.
Project displays are crucial for connecting students with faculty, industry, and future career prospects based on their skills and knowledge.
