Experiences, Barriers, and Factors Influencing Career Advancement Among Internationally Educated Nurses in Home Care

The home care sector suffers from workforce inefficiencies with many of its healthcare providers not working to their full potential. This includes internationally educated nurses (IENs) who have obtained their education in a foreign country but are not certified in Canada. In addition to their professional expertise, IENs have multilingual and multicultural skills and perspectives, which position them to provide culturally competent care. Despite investments to improve hiring and integration practices, we still do not know about the effectiveness of career advancement initiatives for IENs in home care. IENs from disadvantaged groups face significant barriers to meaningful employment and are disproportionately affected. As part of an evaluation study of a career development program at VHA, this project aims to explore the experiences and challenges of IENs with career advancement and certification in Canada. This will inform homecare organizations to tailor programs to support career advancement and certification of IENs and leverage an underutilized human resource in healthcare.

A Community First Approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at See Change Initiative

The intern will work alongside the Organizational Development Operations Lead at See Change Initiative on the development of a DEI charter and the proposition of practical guidelines and training. To do so, she will perform a literature review, research some of the best practices which are currently being adopted by similar organizations, and conduct multiple interviews both within the organization (with employees and Board members) and potentially outside of it (with specialists in the DEI and cross-cultural management fields). She will be supervised by HEC Professor Gwyneth Edwards, whose expertise includes strategic management in an international context and knowledge transfer in international organizations. The partner organization, SeeChange Initiative, will benefit from the novel recommendations that ensue from her research, as most publicly available DEI research and guidelines are directed towards larger and for-profit businesses. The intern will be able to provide the non-profit organization with innovative and practical ways that they can embed a DEI lens, in a way that is truly culturally sensitive and aligned with the “Community First” approach at its core.

Vers des pratiques de consommation et de mobilité plus responsables : inciter au changement des comportements par des « nudges »

Face aux changements profonds de comportements de mobilité et de consommation liés à la pandémie, le Centre d’écologie urbain de Montréal (CEUM) souhaite mettre en place un projet innovant de transformation d’artères commerciales locales en rues conviviales et à faible émission carbone. La question des leviers du changement de comportement est complexe et la littérature scientifique n’arrive pas pour l’instant à un consensus clair, ce qui limite l’efficacité des initiatives mises en place.
Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif de développer un dispositif « performant » d’interventions de changements de comportements sur la mobilité douce et l’achat local via l’emploi de « nudges », une approche née de l’économie comportementale.

Digitizing the Financial Advisory Process (Software Development) – AdvisorFlow

The goal of this project is to further digitize the financial advisory process for Canadian financial advisors and their clients. AdvisorFlow is an integrated software allowing financial advisors to streamline first-mile client discovery, document collection, report generation, and more. In its first year of operation, the focus was developing a minimum viable product and gauging market interest. Through hundreds of client discovery calls, the product was deemed valuable by many individual financial advisors, insurance brokers, and wealth management firms. Early adopters of the product were also constantly asked for feedback in order to continue enhancing and iterating the software. With AdvisorFlow developing a more user-friendly interface and entering the process of ISO 27001 certification (the international standard on how to manage information security), the product has become more appealing for enterprise firms. Upon re-engagement with many enterprise firms in the industry, they have expressed interest in signing with us.

Multi-sensor fusion for continuous vitals monitoring, sleep characterization and fall detection

The proposed research project focuses on multi-sensor such as heart rate, body temperature, oxygen saturation level, and inertial sensor data-based sleep stage classification, and tremor detection in real-time for preventive health devices. The goal of the proposed research is to build robust and energy-efficient machine learning and deep learning-based approaches that extract and analyze the significant information from the multisensor data coming from wrist-based health devices to help Parkinson’s patients with tremors and an individual with sleep quality tracking. Further, the developed algorithms will be deployed on an iMD Research Zenzer bracelet to enhance its capability for monitoring sleep quality and detecting tremors.

Hosted VOIP – Sun Peaks Resort LLP

Sun Peaks Resort is introducing a hybrid VOIP (Voice over IP) solution for Sun Peaks Resort LLP in 2022. This solution would see business critical land lines migrated from our on premise VOIP system, to a cloud based VOIP system. The current phone system is aging and unsupported, replacement parts are also difficult to find. The current system also does not offer modern guest service features such as IVR, interactive voice response. Another limitation of the system is due to its on-premise installation, this makes remote work difficult and expensive to implement.

Accounting Process Narrative Development

The intern will assist Techni-Craft (TC) in creating new process narratives for our new accounting software set to launch in early 2023. The intern will work collaboratively with the accounting team to determine what the process narrative should look like and then will be responsible for executing the final report. This project will have an enormous benefit to TC as we are a small business with limited capacity, so the opportunity to have an intern available to help prioritize updating the process narratives will result in a successful implementation and execution of our new accounting software.

Improving Cognitive and Collaborative Support for Security Threat Hunters

Threat hunters play a critical role in ensuring the security of Canadian corporate and government agency systems. Threat hunters monitor how data, systems, and networks are accessed to be aware of possible threats that may occur before systems or data sources are compromised. Working in teams, threat hunters generate hypotheses and proactively analyze massive amounts of system and network data to detect and isolate impending threats. Current tools are developed without a good understanding of the cognitive and collaborative needs of threat hunters. Through this collaborative project, we will develop an understanding of the different types of threat hunter personas, the tasks they do and the challenges faced. Using these insights, we will design, develop and evaluate novel tools for threat hunters to more effectively visualize, analyze and share information on possible threats. These findings will directly help Micro Focus to improve the threat hunting tools they develop.

Assessing sensitivity of subsurface mine-dewatering activities to climate change

Subsurface dewatering is critical to the safe and economic operation of mines. Operational planning for dewatering often necessitates advanced numerical models for accurate prediction and requires a well-defined understanding of the regional geology, hydrology and hydrogeology, and how this influences infiltration of groundwater into mining pits and underground galleries as well as sources of recharge. It is predicted that increased climate variability will cause significantly different precipitation intensities and patterns, including the timing and duration of snowmelt events, which will impact infiltration volumes and timing. The objective of this work is to quantify the impact of changing climate conditions on predicted mine dewatering volumes and environmental impacts using hydrological models.

Community-based water quality monitoring program for Halifax Regional Municipality

The community-based water quality program for Halifax Regional Municipality will target 76 lakes in the region to establish a long-term monitoring program to understand the trajectory of freshwater aquatic systems under continued and expanding urbanized influence. This new program will be led by HRM’s Water Program Coordinator with support from the Environment & Climate Change team. Data will be collected by the internship students associated with this project, local community organizations, and local consultants, creating a hybrid model of monitoring. This program will sample lakes that have been identified as highly or moderately vulnerable. Gathering of data will take place twice a year through a combination of HRM-support gathering (e.g. through staff or contractors) and HRM-trained community teams referred to as “LakeWatchers”. The purpose of this communications plan is to coordination actions and efforts in support of informing the municipality about this program, its intent, and how to get involved.
