Objectifs et capacités de apprenant.es

Cape Breton University invites employers to collaborate with students from the Comparative Development course. Partnering with our learners offers companies and organizations a unique opportunity to gain fresh insights and innovative solutions tailored to their needs. Our learners are experienced in developing grant proposals. They are adept at articulating a theory of change, linking activities to intended outcomes in a structured and evidence-based way. Additionally, they can create results matrices that include measurable indicators for monitoring progress.

With research skills, our learners can conduct desk reviews of international best practices, ensuring that the recommended strategies are consistent with global standards and applicable to your organization's context.

Exemples de projets

As part of the Comparative Development course, students will collaborate with non-profits and/or social enterprises worldwide to help them develop community development grant proposals.


These proposals may be for specific grant calls or general funding needs.


Working in groups, students will take on the challenge of conceptualizing and drafting a comprehensive Development Initiative Proposal that is tailored to the needs of their partnered organizations. This proposal will begin with a clearly defined problem statement, identifying the core issues the organization aims to address. Students will then elaborate a detailed project description, outlining the goals and objectives of the proposed initiative. To ensure the proposal's effectiveness, students will develop a Theory of Change to articulate how the proposed activities are expected to lead to the desired outcomes. They will also create a Results Matrix to track progress and measure success, alongside a Sustainability and Action Plan outlining steps to ensure the project's long-term impact.

Les entreprises doivent répondre aux questions suivantes pour soumettre une demande de jumelage pour cette expérience:

Are you willing to attend a virtual final presentation and provide constructive feedback?

Can you allocate any internal team members to support the students during the project?
