We have indexed all Canadian university and college programs. A student can enter high school grades and select what they want to study and we will recommend the schools that are a good match.  When a student likes a school, we notify that school and give them a chance to reach out to the student.
We would like to explore long term success of students (do they graduate? what careers do they get?), and find ways to bring data back into our matching algorithm. 
The ultimate goal of this project is to bring back as many data points as we can into our machine learning library so that we build an algorithm that continues to improve the more it is used., description french : Algorithme de recrutement en éducation internationale, expected results english : The purpose of IRAP Contributions to Firms is to support research, development, adoption and/or adaptation of innovative or technology-driven new or improved products, services or processes in Canada up to their commercialization, expected results french : Le PARI, par le biais des Contributions aux entreprises, vise à appuyer la recherche, le développement, l’adaptation et/ou l’adoption au Canada de produits, de services ou de processus novateurs ou axés sur des technologies nouvelles ou améliorées, et ce jusqu’à leur commercialisation, additional information english : nan, additional information french : nan, owner organization : nrc-cnrc, owner organization title : National Research Council Canada | Conseil national de recherches Canada
