Community Engaged Learning

Community Engaged Learning at MacEwan University is a project-based teaching-learning strategy that connects

classroom theory to challenges experienced in the “real world” by our Community Partners (CP).

Working in small teams, HR students will create and deliver a custom professional skill development

recommendation and/or a training session and/or a workshop for your organization on your specific personnel

challenges.

NOTE: Preference will be given to partners with HR professionals on staff who can partner with the student teams to

How this works

Teams will select a CP in January and meet with them to assess the organization’s challenges. The students will

then develop a training plan and/or recommendations on how to overcome this challenge.
