The Ideal

ABSTRACTContinuing education is the ideal mechanism to allow retired people to maintain their autonomy and health for as long as possible. Despite the importance of education in the development of human beings, very few studies have been identified on the need for continued education in older adults. This quantitative descriptive study allowed us to better understand the interests and the needs of seniors related to continuing education in French-speaking older adults in New Brunswick (n = 408), and to identify the perceptions of participants with regard to the benefits, the challenges and the preferences of seniors for continuing education. Study results indicate that the main interests of participants were for training in technology (computers), gardening and health matters. Given the lack of research in this domain, these results will be useful for future planning of continuing education initiatives for seniors.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a Continuing Education and Professional Development (CE&PD) ‘intraprise’ by the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Ottawa (GuOE) that involves the active collaboration and contributions of the University’s Professional Development Institute (PDI) as well as other internal and external partners. The ultimate goal of this endeavour is to gradually incorporate CE&PD as an integral component of GuOE’s mission. GuOE has identified five (5) criteria for its CE&PD initiatives: 1. Responding to clear and validated CE&PD needs; 2. Leveraging GuOE’s expertise and resources; 3. Involving and empowering GuOE ‘champions’; 4. Developing ‘win-win’ partnerships with internal (PDI and others) and external organizations and; 5. Generating net revenue for GuOE. In order to generate the required internal ‘buy in’ and commitment, a number of CE&PD pilot projects are being undertaken. The pilot projects allow for experimenting with various forms of CE&PD offerings and intended for different categories of learners. Cette communication porte sur le développement et la mise en oeuvre d’une ‘intraprise’ de formation continue et de développement professionnel (FC&DP) à la Faculté de génie de l’Université d’Ottawa (GuOE), en collaboration avec l’Institut de développement professionnel (IDP) de l’Université ainsi que d’autres partenaires internes et externes. Ultimement, cette initiative vise à intégrer graduellement la FC&DP à l’intérieur de la mission éducative de GuOE. Cinq (5) critères ont été identifiés pour les initiatives de FC&DP de GuOE : 1. Répondre à des besoins de FC&DP précis et validés; 2. Tirer profit de l’expertise et des ressources de GuOE; 3. Identifier et impliquer activement des ‘champions’ facultaires; 4. Développer des parternariats ‘gagnant – gagnant’ avec des collaborateurs internes et des organisations externes et; 5. Générer des revenus nets pour GuOE. Un certain nombre de projets pilotes ont été identifiés afin de susciter l’intérêt et la participation de la communauté facultaire. Ceux-ci portent sur différents types de formation et s’adressent à différentes catégories d’apprenants.
