14 Consultation Findings - Challenges / Barriers Unified York University EE strategy leads to lack of an annual EE plan Managing expectations, both the University and the community organizations understand who/what/why/ value of EE Communication strategy for EE Tunnel vision resistance to seeing systemic solutions for EE Funding and consistency of EE’s message Guidance for students/faculty and community organizations on EE Showcasing successful EE partnership models and practices Educational opportunity of EE’s best practices Communication of Branding CEC in the context of EE Inter-professional working group from York University and community side Reluctance by community to engage in EE based on past negative experience, and lack of community organizations capacity to conduct EE

15 Recommendations for CEC The need to conduct annual EE brainstorming session with the Community and York University. Annual training session on EE for York University, and community. CEC to facilitate joint student orientation before starting their placements. (August)

16 Recommendations for CEC cont. EE Communication Strategy. Create inventory of EE opportunities, what organizations and York University need and want. Annual EE fair held in April 2013.

17 Recommendations for York U York University to establish EE best practices, policies, procedures and manuals to be implemented university wide. (including unified EE agreements) EE strategy driven from bottom up as well as top down. EE commitment to meet the need for organic growth Avoid silos by establishing university wide EE strategy Provide resources to enable effective EE to Faculties and units including CEC Create incentives for Course Directors (CD) and Teaching Assistants (TA) to do EE

18 Quotation that resonates “The need to develop better enabling structures for partnership with non-for-profit agencies is recognized a challenge that must be met for a university to become successfully engaged” (Hall, 2009).
