Universities are central to Canada's economic growth.
As a result, governments (which partially fund them), employers (who hire graduates) and students (who pay tuition fees) have come to view universities as a tool to achieve their own goals: economic growth, a productive workforce and good jobs after graduation.
Yet, the increasing focus on training undergraduates for specific jobs or as economic entrepreneurs not only in traditional professional degrees in STEM, such as engineering but across all university programs shortchanges all parties involved.
