We are also interested in learning what strategies you developed to overcome challenges or barriers which have helped you in your program and/or employment. Findings from this study will help inform curriculum and instructional practices, academic policies and services provides to international students, and industry/employer awareness.
The focus groups will be conducted via zoom in the spring and summer and be approximately 60-minutes. Our graduate student researcher, Brian Rochat, University of Saskatchewan, will conduct the focus group. You can learn more about the details of this study by joining us for a brief information session on March 15th at 4:00 p.m.
