Position summary
The Enrichment Mini-Course Program (EMCP) is a program that is offered on an annual basis. In the past, participating post-secondary institutions have offered approximately 125 mini-courses, drawing nearly 3,000 students from grades 8 to 11 in Ontario and secondary levels II to V in Quebec. This year, we are continuing the Enrichment Mini-Course Program (EMCP) in accordance to public health guidelines. More details will be available through the winter.
Mini-courses are offered in a variety of disciplines and topics. The courses are highly interactive; they combine brief presentations, practical exercises, laboratory exercises and group discussions.
Course Instructors should be faculty or current graduate students. Course instructors will work in cooperation with the Manager of High School Outreach and the EMCP coordinator to provide a one-week learning experience for students in grades 8 to 11.
