Welcome to Wavemakers!
It was so great connecting with you at the HR Leaders Summit!
As Wavemakers Partnerships Director, I had the opportunity to connect with professionals and HR leaders who are looking for real strategies for high-stakes, high accountability environments and are eager to learn how to position HR as a business driver. This experience was incredibly valuable as I look to build relationships and deepen partnerships with business leaders seeking to develop their employee volunteerism, social impact through mentorship, and diverse talent streams.
Together, we can continue to build a future workforce that is inclusive, highly-skilled, and diversely talented.

What is Wavemakers?
Wavemakers is a free, innovative work-integrated learning program accessible to all post-secondary students across Canada, wherever they are, to participate and learn about the technologies and mindsets needed to thrive in the future of work. Wavemakers is supported by the Government of Canada through the Innovative Work-Integrated Learning Program to strengthen students’ core future-proof capabilities and connect talent directly with leading employers across Canada.
The Wavemakers Program is expanding fast, and we're looking for more great partners to join us, to inspire our students and connect with them at our virtual career fairs.
