Today, Sept 30, our offices are closed in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Let’s take a moment to remember the children who did not return from residential schools, to honour the resilience and strength of Indigenous people, and to continue to walk the path to Reconciliation.

Why are we offering Applied Innovation?

To offer students the opportunity to connect what they're learning today to the impact they want to make tomorrow. And to think big, and outside of the box.

"Students want real-world skills to complement the theoretical knowledge of their degrees."
- Heaven Kaur, UMSU President

"The program provides the opportunity for students to get more out of their university education, transcending their own discipline to think broader and bigger."
- Ute Kothe, Dean, Extended Education

The new Micro-certificate in Applied Innovation: From Ideas to Impact brings students from across UM together to develop innovation, collaboration, communication and problem-solving skills through hands-on learning.

Employers aren't just looking for knowledge.

They're looking for people who can solve problems, communicate ideas, collaborate with others and make things happen. That's why we created the Micro-certificate in Applied Innovation: From Ideas to Impact.

Through hands-on learning and interdisciplinary teamwork, you'll practice innovation, develop critical thinking skills, work through real challenges and learn how to bring ideas to life. And because innovation happens everywhere, this program is open to students across UM. From Arts to Engineering. Music to Science. Agriculture to Health Sciences.

If you've ever thought, "There has to be a better way," this program is for you. https://umanitoba.ca/extended-education/programs-and-courses/social-innovation-and-lifelong-education/applied-innovation?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Applied+Innovation:+From+Ideas+to+Impact&utm_id=2026

It's not just an orientation at Access. It's about building community.

Earlier this month, the Access Program welcomed new students to the UM community. Through holistic supports, meaningful connections and a sense of belonging, Access has been helping students overcome barriers to post-secondary education for more than 50 years.

“On the final day of orientation, we see groups forming. Students connect with those they will soon be studying with. Their communities are taking shape. That’s what we want, to create community,” says Shawna Bowler, Student Support Case Manager for the Access Program.

"What you notice about the world from your world view doesn't occur to others. This puts you in the perfect position to be an innovator," says Lindsay Poggemiller, Content Provider, Micro-certificate in Applied Innovation: From Ideas to Impact.

This new micro-certificate recognizes an important idea: Every student brings a different perspective.

Maybe you're in Engineering and see a better process.
Maybe you're in Music and see a new way to build community.
Maybe you're in Science and want your research to create real-world change.

Whatever your field, this program will help you develop innovation, collaboration, communication, problem-solving and implementation skills that can help turn ideas into action.

Applications are open now. https://umanitoba.ca/extended-education/programs-and-courses/social-innovation-and-lifelong-education/applied-innovation?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Applied+Innovation:+From+Ideas+to+Impact&utm_id=2026
