Workforce
As our suite of programs provides founders with the know-how to set up your business, we strive to connect you with the emerging talent needed to make it happen.
MBA Practicum Placement
Through our collaboration with University Canada West (UCW), we connect eligible companies in our network with MBA students you may hire (paid, unpaid, or stipend based) for 12-20 hours per week in conjunction with their 12 week MBA Graduate Practicum exit course.
Throughout the Work Integrated Learning experience, students spend most of their course hours working directly within your company, and spend additional time in the classroom honing their soft skills and knowledge of the Canadian business environment based on their experience with you.
