Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from the University of Winnipeg to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

What unfulfilled research needs does your agency have? In this project, a team of students in the Master of Art Criminal Justice program will help your organization conduct research (from open, public sources) that supports problem-solving challenges across the Canadian criminal justice system.
