Today marks the launch of UnborderED Knowledge, a unique initiative led by Professor Clark-Kazak from the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) at the University of Ottawa.

The project also aims to support their integration into the Canadian workforce, enabling highly qualified individuals trained abroad to fully contribute to their new communities.
