Improving the linkages between university and work Report
Policy and practice recommendations
Description
This paper, which concentrates on universities, offers as number of policies and practices to better align higher education with the world of work.
Increasingly, what one studies at university doesn’t predict the jobs one will occupy. In addition, students today will change jobs five to seven times, and the gig economy is growing, both of which reinforce the idea that an emphasis on skills makes sense. A number of universities in the U.S. are innovating and delivering programs in different ways than they always have.

TORONTO - Scientists at the Krembil Brain Institute, part of University Health Network (UHN), in collaboration with colleagues at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), have used precious and rare access to live human cortical tissue to identify functionally important features that make human neurons unique.
This experimental work is among the first of its kind on live human neurons and one of the largest studies of the diversity of human cortical pyramidal cells to date. The goal of this study was to understand what makes human brain cells human, and how human neuron circuitry functions as it does, says Dr. Taufik Valiante, neurosurgeon, scientist at the Krembil Brain Institute at UHN and co-senior author on the paper.

Now, the workload is far greater than ever before in the pandemic. On Friday, there were 695 COVID patients in ICUs according to the Ontario Hospital Association – an all-time high.
