Our primary clients are organizations which receive government funding for their work. This often times places us in a difficult position as we wait for them to learn if they have received funding or not, and as they do the work of fitting everything inside their tight funding limits. What we would like to do instead is build partnerships with the funders directly (primarily government of Canada), but in order to do that we need to make a solid case for our service.

What we are looking for is students who can helps us provide a research report on

- market trends as they relate to our product (soft skill development in the skilled trades employability and employment sector)

- stats and research on the benefit and success of soft skills in employability and job retention

- current government trends, bodies, groups, committees and funders in the areas of employment skill development, workforce development or talent development

We are looking for the deliverables of:

- concise report of literature review, think thank data and other research on the use and success of soft skills development in employability and retention

- a report on market trends in this sector

- a list of government entities, funders, grants, and programs committed to elevating employee skills training in Canada.

Our primary focus is the skilled trades, but students should not limit them selevs to this when doing their research.

Students will connect directly with the employer for mentorship and supervision throughout the project.

Students will receive a thorough explanation of our service to assist them in fully understanding our work. Optionally, they will be able to attend our workshops if they choose to deepen their understanding of our work.
