Description: |
Knowledge Synthesis Grants are not intended to support original research. They are intended to support the synthesis of existing research knowledge and the identification of knowledge gaps in a format that is accessible for a particular audience; in this case, primarily government policy-makers, but also education and training institutions, and employers. The objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
?describe the state of knowledge about the future skills needs of the Canadian labour market, in the context of slowing labour-force growth, increasingly globalized labour markets and economies, and continual technological change;
?identify gaps between labour market demand for both generic and specific skills and the supply of skills (e.g., through K-12 education, postsecondary education, skilled trades and apprenticeship, employer-training and immigration-oriented programs);
?identify the most promising policies and practices for better identifying and meeting future skills needs;
?assess the quality, accuracy and rigour of current work in the field;
?identify gaps in the knowledge and the quantitative and qualitative data available related to skills development and future needs of the Canadian labour market;
?mobilize skills and labour market knowledge within the academic, industry and public policy sectors; and
?form the basis of dialogue between academic researchers, industry stakeholders and skills-related policy-makers in government. |
