Red River College Interprofessional Skills and Study Abroad (ISSA) in Denmark and Finland

The Interprofessional Skills and Study Abroad project creates opportunities for underrepresented students in RRC’s School of Health Sciences and Community Services and School of Skilled Trades and Technology to broaden their skills, experiences and knowledge while creating new connections specifically in Denmark and Finland. These opportunities will not only enrich and strengthen their global skills and competencies but will also give them a boost in their career capacity to assist in enriching the economic and social prosperity of Manitoba. Participants will attend international summer school, credit courses, WIL placements, skills competition and conduct joint research activities during the ISSA project.
