INTEREST AREAS

This section is intended to make it easier for students to find others with similar interests. This page could be of particular use when looking for groups for assignments.

This is based on The International Classification of Nonprofit Organizations http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/13-015-x/2005000/4153701-eng.htm

Nonprofit organizations… are classified by primary area of activity according to the International Classification of Nonprofit Organizations (ICNPO). It is the classification system recommended in the UN Handbook on Non-Profit Institutions in the System of National Accounts. The ICNPO system groups organizations into 12 major activity groups, including a catch-all ‘not elsewhere classified’ category. These 12 major activity groups are further divided into 24 subgroups.

You can sign up for more than one interest area, in fact as many as you like. For convenience I've added spaces for ten students under each heading but it is easy to add more rows if more than ten students are interested in a topic.

You can use the column for comments to narrow your field of interest within a broad category  to focus on subgroups or even specific organizations.

You are welcome to modify this format further if you see better ways to design the form.
