Want to connect what you’re learning in your degree to the real world while building skills for your future career? Carleton’s free Global Citizen Scholar Program is a flexible program you can complete alongside your degree, helping you develop practical, cross-disciplinary skills that go beyond the classroom.

Through four skill clusters:

  • Personal growth
  • New literacies
  • Working across teams
  • Creative thinking

You’ll strengthen your ability to think critically, navigate change, collaborate effectively and tackle complex challenges. 

Designed to fit your schedule, most activities are completed asynchronously in Brightspace and take about one hour per week. You’ll also have opportunities to learn from inspiring changemakers through guest speaker events and connect with fellow students in interactive skill-building workshops.

Enrolment for 2026–2027 is open until Fri. Dec. 4, 2026. Sign up in Brightspace today and start building the future-ready skills that will help you thrive in a rapidly changing world.
