What is the Career Innovation Project?
The Career Innovation Project (CIP) is a partnership with Business + Higher Education Roundtable (BHER), supported by the Government of Canada, to advance Canada’s transition to a net-zero economy.
The CIP develops avenues for employers and students to connect through industry events, career conversations, industry outreach and opportunity development.
The campus-wide ecosystem of Work Integrated Learning (WIL) that the CIP is creating enhances students’ understanding of their active role in Canada’s net-zero goals, and how to take action through important career-readiness skill development.
Watch our past sessions to discover more about what we do, and follow RRU Career Learning and Development's LinkedIn page for updates.
CIP Partners
To target the growing needs and issues impacting the Vancouver Island and Gulf Island regions, RRU has collaborated with the WestShore Chamber of Commerce and 4VI to engage with this area's urban and remote businesses and communities.
The Westshore Chamber of Commerce is a not-for-profit membership organization that promotes business and economic growth, advocates on behalf of local businesses, and enriches the community. One of five Chambers of Commerce on southern Vancouver Island, the WestShore Chamber primarily serves organizations in Colwood, the Highlands, Langford, Metchosin and View Royal.
4VI is an innovative social enterprise with three interconnected entities: 4TVI, a not-for-profit corporation, 4EVER socially responsible business corporation, and 4GOOD social impact fund. Together, they deliver on four key pillars: communities, business, cultures, and the environment.
The Career Innovation Project was launched in partnership with the Business + Higher Education Roundtable (BHER), and with support from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED).
