Our Mission
FUSION, the Future Skills Innovation Network, is a collaborative group of Canadian universities focused on innovative skill development to prepare students for the future economy and become active citizens in 21st-century society. Initially launched as part of the federally-funded Future Skills Centre, FUSION consists of five partner institutions: University of Calgary, University of Saskatchewan, Carleton University, Concordia University and Memorial University. FUSION’s network model helps to foster collaboration around skill development and speed the diffusion of successful innovations through its additional partnerships with business and industry. FUSION represents an innovative way of working for Canadian universities. FUSION fills a vital gap and significantly contributes to Canada’s skills ecosystem.

Our Work
In our first three years, the Future Skills Innovation Network carved out its role as a leader in cross-university collaboration and innovation at the intersection of career services and teaching and learning.
We prototyped, implemented, and rapidly shared new FUSION skill-development initiatives. We surpassed our initial goal of enrolling 1500 participants across six universities. We brought an equity lens to FUSION work. We invested in the implementation at FUSION universities and built on the FUSION ethos of radical sharing.
FUSION continues to grow, with new skills modules and initiatives being continuously added.
