Welcome
to
the RIC Knowledge Mobilization Course!
This course is skills
based, with each module focused on teaching a specific skill that is
important in knowledge mobilization (KMb). These online modules are stand-alone and can
be completed in any order, anytime. We invite participants to look at the
portfolio of modules available and pick the ones that best suit their needs.
The purpose of
this course is to:
- Train participants with marketable skills to bring directly back to
their workplace.
- Provide tools to enable dissemination, uptake, and application of
knowledge in an efficient and effective way.
Delivering this
course to staff working in the skills and training ecosystem, we hope this
course will allow participants to better connect and communicate ideas and
innovations generated across Canada. With more trained in these applicable KMb skills,
employees and employers can succeed in the labour market, and ensure that
local, regional, and national economies thrive.
The target audience for this course includes:
- Social innovation
researchers and research managers,
- Grant recipients
from the Future
Skills Centre,

working in areas related to KMb, including but not limited to those working in:
research communications, experiential learning, library services, grant facilitators,

partners, including but not limited to staff at: community centres, advocacy
groups, and non-governmental organizations,
