Accelerating community innovation

We connect students with local innovators province-wide to develop products and solutions for environmental, social and business challenges.

Empowering diverse communities

Our commitment to inclusive, equitable and accessible learning gives more students the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in our province and in the global economy. 

Working with Indigenous communities

We support Indigenous students’ success and expanded employment options, and create learning opportunities for Indigenous students and communities across Nova Scotia.

Expanding strategic sectors

Through partnerships, we develop and improve programs to better support key growth sectors ranging from oceans and geomatics to alternative energy and sustainable agriproducts.
