Supporting Canadian Research Twitter Link: goo.gl/RWUz4j Today, Minister Rickford announced an investment of over $24 million in new training initiatives through the Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) initiative to help science and engineering graduates gain the valuable job skills needed in today’s labour market. • The Harper Government’s top priority is jobs, growth and long-term prosperity. • Our Government will continue to support research that brings together academic and industrial partners because we recognize that long-lasting returns can be realized when academic research is integrated with private sector know-how. • Through CREATE initiatives, young researchers will be provided with the training opportunities necessary to help them transition from trainees to productive employees in the Canadian workforce. • In its first three years, CREATE has involved 58 teams of researchers and has supported more than 2,400 students and postdoctoral fellows through funding and training. • Our Government remains committed to investing in the next of generation innovators, whose work promises to keep Canada competitive on the global stage and help bolster our economy through partnerships with the private sector.
