About the
Manitoba
Industry-Academia
Partnership
MI-AP is an initiative funded by Prairies Economic Development Canada (PrairiesCan) to facilitate Industry-Academia collaboration for the economic, societal health, and vitality of Manitoba.
MI-AP will undertake a coordinated approach to:
- Enhancing alignment and communication between industry and post-secondary to increase work-integrated learning opportunities;
- Increasing industry awareness of the expertise, available technologies and research facilities at PSIs in Manitoba;
- accelerating opportunities for Indigenous students to participate in the post-secondary sector and in the labour market.
This partnership presents an emerging and significant opportunity to influence the development of initiatives over the next three years that relate to skills and talent and economic growth.
