Research
Candi is a graduate of the Doctor of Science in Rehabilitation and Health Leadership program at Queen’s University. Her doctoral research focused on life skills training for students in therapy assistant diploma programs. She developed and evaluated online life skills training modules on performance management, money management, and manual skills. The modules are available as an open educational resource entitled, Life Skills Training Modules, available at https://openeducationalberta.ca/life-skills/. Her research can be applied to contexts where post-secondary students would benefit from explicit support in developing life skills.
