Career and Learning for Life consortium

The Career and Learning for Life (CALL) consortium represents CHASI’s first dedicated research cluster of Faculty Associates. CALL recognizes the need for research to inform transformative social innovation in how we think structurally, economically, socially, culturally, and politically about equitable career learning and higher education’s role in preparing graduates for the rapidly, and often dramatically, changing world.

Re-imagining career paths for Liberal Arts students

CALL spearheaded the creation of Career Mapping, a website that makes it easy to connect the dots between a Liberal Arts education and potential occupations. Students, graduates, and advisors can navigate career paths, educational requirements, and advice on in-demand skill sets for a wide range of careers.

Economic insights on the Fraser Valley

CALL is currently developing an interactive economic dashboard which will provide accessible, easily understood information on the realities of our local communities. This dashboard will provide valuable tools for businesses, governments, and individuals to make informed, data-driven decisions.

This project is in progress, and currently seeking partnerships. If you or your organization would like to learn more, please reach out to the CALL at the emails below.
