Training in a Time of Change
REDEVELOP trains graduate students to work across disciplines, distance and cultures. As Canada struggles to find its “new normal”, unconventional resources are key in our transition to a low-carbon energy future, environmental sustainability and socio-economic stability. By integrating technical expertise with training in communication, conflict resolution, project management and Indigenous relations, we prepare our graduates for a changing workforce. Future leaders within industry, government and Indigenous communities will rely on knowledge that crosscuts western disciplines in science and engineering and traditional ways of knowing with a deep understanding of pertinent socio-economic and environmental factors.

Skills Training via the REDEVELOP Challenge
Project Management
Our graduates take a project from start to finish in an interdisciplinary collaboration of students from across Canada. Project summaries are communicated to industry in a competitive area.
Public Perception & Consultation
Grads learn to identify the science behind the problem, research the policy issues and explore all perspectives through
consultation with communities, industry
and the Indian Resource Council (IRC).
Industry-Organization Psychology
Through communication, self-awareness and conflict resolution strategies, grads learn how to lead and how to adapt within a high-functioning team from the University of Calgary’s ITP Metrics Lab.
Mentors & Leaders
Internships & Industry Partners
REDEVELOP grads make better interns, who make better employees. Our industry network continues to grow, as grads complete one or more internships during their master’s or doctoral program.
HQPs
HQPs, or highly qualified professionals,
are REDEVELOP grads near the end of their academic degree program, who extend their training with leadership, finance, conference-planning and outreach experience.
Indigenous Mentorship Pipeline
In a collaboration between REDEVELOP, IRC and the Sucker Creek First Nation, HPQs mentor Indigenous undergraduate summer interns who mentor high school students in a newly-developed project model.
