Dr. Graham Branton Research Award

The Research Award was instituted in 1989 to recognize and encourage significant contributions to scholarly research in the fields of co-operative education and work-integrated learning by members of Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning Canada (CEWIL). In 1996, the award was renamed in memory of Dr. Graham Branton.

Significant contributions would normally represent a research study or body of research that has important implications for understanding and/or enhancing co-operative education and work-integrated learning at the post-secondary level in Canada.

While the award does not contain any monetary value, it recognizes the recipient’s contribution to co-operative education and work-integrated learning.

Sponsored by the University of Victoria
