“As a leadership advisory firm, we have the privilege of connecting with extraordinary people every day; yet we recognize that many Canadians, young Canadians in particular, often don’t have access to these leaders, so our intention has always been to connect these two worlds – Canada’s top business leaders and the next generation of talent,” said Carl Lovas, Chief Executive Officer of Odgers Berndtson Canada. “Our hope is that our student and executive participants leave the event feeling inspired, motivated, and optimistic about the future of work and their careers.”
Since 2013, Odgers Berndtson Canada has hosted the CEOx1Day program matching passionate young leaders with CEOs from over 120 organizations including PayPal, Lululemon, Cineplex, Manulife, IKEA, MEC, De Beers, VanCity, Plan Canada, and Amnesty International.
This year, we encourage third and fourth-year students from universities and colleges across the country to apply for an experience that will parallel a real-world job search, while providing personal leadership insights and expert career advice.
