Trying to do both simultaneously can feel downright impossible.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where work-integrated degree programs can offer promising solutions\u2014providing more affordable, inclusive education pathways to careers. This is particularly crucial in the digital technologies arena where Canada is coming up short in terms of recruiting talent.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_in_Canada\"><\/span><strong>First in Canada<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>York University\u2019s Lassonde School of Engineering is the first in Canada to help bridge this gap by offering an innovative and flexible alternative to traditional university study. Lassonde\u2019s new <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sr.studiostack.com\/c\/link?l=1006277&amp;s=1000020\">Digital Technologies work-integrated degree program<\/a>\u2014just announced in September\u2014enables students to have full-time salaried employment with the same employer for four years, while studying towards a Bachelor of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>lied <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Science<\/a> degree. Approximately 20 per cent of their work time is dedicated to theoretical, in-class learning delivered during five-day block periods every six-to-seven weeks. The rest of their work hours are spent in the workplace where academic learning will be continually applied and integrated as they gain experience and contribute to their employer\u2019s goals. The program will be offered exclusively through York University\u2019s Markham campus.<\/p>\n<p>Through this program, organizations can both upskill their existing workforce and access a new talent pipeline, while increasing equity, diversity and inclusion. The program also acts as a vehicle for upward mobility as it offers access to higher education for non-traditional learners as well as those who often face systemic barriers to tech careers such as Black, Indigenous and people of colour, newcomers, individuals with disabilities, first-generation students and older people.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Built_on_a_successful_model\"><\/span><strong>Built on a successful model<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While the work-integrated degree concept is new to Canada, it\u2019s based on a tried-and-true model from the UK, which launched in 2015 to great success. Now, the majority of higher education providers in England offer these types of programs.<\/p>\n<p>Jane Goodyer, dean of the Lassonde School of Engineering, has already piloted the model in New Zealand, and she\u2019s now helping to debut the concept in Canada in tandem with organizations like IBM. \u201cIt\u2019s all about opening doors to those who simply wouldn\u2019t have the time or money to pursue a degree. Our new work-integrated program will transform the future of learning and employment in Canada\u2014supercharging skills development while advancing society toward a more just future for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lassonde worked on its program with one of the UK\u2019s leading providers of this model, Manchester Metropolitan University, which is forecast to have more than 2,300 students enrolled in work-integrated programs with 544 employers this year.<\/p>\n<p>To design and develop the program, Lassonde also collaborated with a visionary group of \u2018Trailblazer\u2019 businesses, public sector organizations and industry associations to ensure the program delivers the required knowledge, skills and professionalism companies need in their IT specialists. These included senior <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> experts from Ceridian, CGI, Cinchy Inc., Cisco Canada, Connected (Connected.io, Now part of Thoughtworks), EY Canada, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Motors of Canada Company, IBM Canada, mimik Technology Inc., RBC, Saa Dene Group, Shopify, TELUS Health, Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat and TribalScale Inc. Together, they created curriculum and learning outcomes designed to anticipate industry needs and shape their evolution.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Win-win_for_students_and_businesses\"><\/span><strong>Win-win for students and businesses<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Work-integrated learning models benefit both students and employers by driving positive change. Students who couldn\u2019t attend university because of financial barriers can gain hands-on work experience and new skills while earning a salary. Employers can upskill existing employees and access a rich pipeline of untapped talent, giving them a competitive edge. Through their employees, they can also gain access to the latest expertise and resources that York University can provide.<\/p>\n<p>With a 90 per cent employer satisfaction rate, York is building on its promise of high-quality education that prepares students for long-term success. In its first year, the program will be delivered through York University\u2019s state-of-the-art Learning Space in IBM Canada\u2019s headquarters in Markham. \u201cParticipating in Lassonde\u2019s new work-integrated program reinforces IBM\u2019s continued commitment to create a more diverse workforce and cultivate a flexible, inclusive, and equitable work environment,\u201d says Lila Adamec, leader of IBM Canada\u2019s Academic Integration and Strategy division. \u201cDoing so helps us continue to create a culture of transparency and trust among IBMers to drive employee engagement and retention as well as to be globally competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Lassonde\u2019s Digital Technologies work-integrated degree program, starting Fall 2023, visit <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sr.studiostack.com\/c\/link?l=1006277&amp;s=1000020\">lassonde.yorku.ca\/digitaltech<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
