Overview
- Learner goals and capabilities
-
Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from the University of Toronto to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. Learners will work on one main project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Learners in this program/experience focus on leadership skills like self-awareness, visioning and goal-setting, performance feedback, creative problem-solving and decision-making, inclusive leadership and negotiation/conflict resolution.
They bring their current research-based knowledge to bring insights to resolve your organizational challenges!
- Expected outcomes and deliverables
-
Deliverables are negotiable and will seek to align the needs of the learners and the organization.
Some final project deliverables might include:
- A 10-15 minute presentation on key findings and recommendations
- A detailed report including their research, analysis, insights, and recommendations
Project Examples
Learners in groups of 6 will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations, based on their in-depth research and analysis.
Project activities that learners can complete would be broad with the aim of improving leadership/management skills. These may include, but are not limited to:
equity, diversity and inclusive leadership, performance feedback, creative problem-solving, decision-making, negotiation/conflict resolution, managing change, stress/crisis management.
Additional company criteria
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Be available for a quick phone/virtual call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the experience.
Provide a dedicated contact person who is available for weekly/bi-weekly drop-ins to address learners’ questions as well as periodic messages over the duration of the project.
