Rachel Sumner
Executive Director, TALENT™
Many years ago Rachel was given some advice that has stuck with her ever since: fall in love with the problem you want to solve, not a particular solution—because it might not be the right solution. Rachel is in love with the ‘problem’ of graduate job readiness and needs your input as she continues to try and solve it with TALENT™.
As a future student of Ontario Tech University, you’ll want to hear how TALENT™ is being developed with you in mind.
We look forward to meeting you!
This new organization changes how we think about higher education’s role in essential skills, as we focus on our priority to re-imagine learning. We will work closely with industry to help our graduates be relevant today and throughout their careers. Co-creating this program with industry and community partners allows our students and alumni to become, and remain, job ready. A practical focus is in our DNA, and we are working hard to address the very real skills gap in Ontario and in Canada. We need all Canadians to think about learning in an entirely new and flexible fashion in order to be globally competitive.
