The STEM Leaders: Launch program is an experiential and work-integrated learning program. The program will provide youth with training, coaching, mentorship, workshops, and access to scholarship opportunities to address financial barriers when pursuing post-secondary education. To supplement their learning, youth will also visit multiple post-secondary campuses in the Greater Toronto Area during March Break!
This program will allow youth to apply for PAID job opportunities available during the summer program.
