The Learn & Work Ecosystem Library is pleased to share this Request for Participation (RFP): Community of Learners/Library Partnership. We are seeking individuals and organizations interested in reviewing the Library’s resources in 2024 to determine the extent to which the Library is a useful reference tool to learn about the learn-and-work ecosystem, and to assist in acquiring information for educational and work-related uses.
Opportunities for participation include:
Self-designed project(s). Participants may self-design project(s) in their exploration of the Library. Examples include reviews on topics chosen by participants; fact-checking of content; adequacy of content availability within thematic areas; and preparation of short reports and briefing papers that may be of interest to organizations such as foundations, governmental agencies, intermediaries/think tanks, and leaders in the learn-and-work ecosystem.
Library-assigned project(s). Participants may request assignments from the Library rather than self-designing project(s).
Network opportunities. Participants will receive invitations to bi-monthly webinars that will allow them to share their progress and learn about ongoing topics in the learn-and-work ecosystem. Participants will also be invited to network with peer participants through email chain chats.
Publish research. Participants may submit short reports, blogs, and other documents developed during their project(s) to the Library for potential publication at the Library’s Research Center.
Eligible applicants:
Students, faculty, and staff from postsecondary academic programs, departments, or schools.
High school level students, teachers, and staff such as school counselors.
Other interested individuals and organizations, especially those that wish to explore the Library as a professional development and/or research reference tool.
