Learner goals and capabilities

Cape Breton University invites employers to collaborate with students in the Organizational Behaviour course. These students are trained to analyze and improve individual and group dynamics within organizations. They bring insights from psychology, sociology, and other disciplines to address real-world business challenges. Through this collaboration, employers will gain fresh perspectives on organizational practices while helping students apply their knowledge in practical settings. Employers are expected to communicate regularly, provide project details, attend the final presentation, and offer feedback through the Riipen platform.
