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.
