They coordinate stakeholder relations to ensure students get to work on tangible projects that have a direct impact on their community. At the same time, they ensure that city staff get the support needed from academic partners, and professors incorporate project based learning opportunities in the academic offering.

Ils coordonnent les relations avec les parties prenantes pour garantir que les étudiants travaillent sur des projets concrets qui ont un impact direct sur leur communauté. Dans le même temps, ils veillent à ce que le personnel municipal reçoive le soutien nécessaire de la part des partenaires universitaires et que les professeurs intègrent des opportunités d'apprentissage par projet dans l'offre académique. Cette formation, disponible en anglais et en français, dotera les coordonnateurs de projet des compétences nécessaires pour gérer avec succès des initiatives urbaines, impliquer la communauté et collaborer avec diverses parties prenantes.
