Bridging academic and employability skills to educate the next generation of citizen scholars

The FUSION Skill Development Program is a series of skill-specific, interactive and self-directed online modules hosted by Teaching and Learning Services and accessible via Brightspace.

FUSION aims to help students develop and transfer a range of skills to future work, learning, or personal situations and environments. Participants will have the opportunity to:

  • Explore key skills critical to 21st century success and leadership
  • Apply these skills to their unique contexts
  • Reflect on how they have developed these skills

Students who complete FUSION modules can add the experience to their Co-Curricular Record (CCR) to enhance their resumes and career portfolios.

With special attention to inclusion, FUSION’s initiatives also seek to expand access to skill development experiences for equity-deserving students.

The FUSION (Future Skills Innovation Network) project was launched in 2020 as part of the federal government-funded Future Skills Centre across a network of Canadian universities. The project will continue until March 2026 because of a generous grant from the Government Canada.
