What to Expect
The curriculum focuses on the core competencies of KT work in Canada, as identified by a survey of KT practitioners, including KT planning, theories and frameworks, implementation, and evaluation. KTPC™ balances theory and practical application, and we invite active participation by employers and mentors to help build an organizational culture that supports KT. By the end of the course, participants will have developed a comprehensive, work-relevant KT Plan.
Held three times a year (March, June, and October), KTPC™ includes 39 hours of contact time, involving instruction, active learning, and consultation with a variety of expert faculty. Each session is open to a limited number of participants.
