We are proud to present our NextGen Leaders Network (NLN), a branch of our Future Leaders in Training Program (FLIT) for high school students in Grades 9-12. With the world changing rapidly and the adoption of advanced digital technologies, this program aims to create a pathway to prepare youth for future work opportunities.

NextGen Leaders Network (NLN) is a branch from our Future Leaders in Training (FLIT) Program that prepares students for the industry of tomorrow. Although these are two separate programs, students who complete FLIT prior to completing NLN, will receive the following after completing both programs: 

• FLIT specialization on their certificate of completion for NLN 
• Given priority for an instructor position at Engineering Outreach 
• $50 top-up 

NLN is a seven (7) week internship program that provides Black, Indigenous and female-identifying youth an immersive opportunity to develop their leadership skills, while being shadowed under our specific black youth, Indigenous youth, and all girls team. Selected students will collectively do training together, but then will branch off to their designated group to design and develop culturally relevant programs.

The Program will kick-off during the week of July 1, 2025, with 5-7 hours of workable hours during each week. After successfully completing the program, students will receive a bursary of $300, in addition to 40 volunteer hours that can be used towards their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
