Not-for-profit organizations looking to develop an effective innovation roadmap need strong leadership. Whether overseeing a specific division — finance, technology, human resources, or community relations — or the organization as a whole, effective leaders are strategic thinkers responsible for handling myriad operational challenges as they arise.
From competing for specialized talent to meeting the demands of an ever-changing economic landscape, senior members of an organization need strong leadership skills and a solid understanding of many key business fundamentals. But many Canadian not-for-profits — especially those in the launch phase — lack the time, resources, and personnel to meet the challenges faced by game-changing innovators.
With more than 20 years of experience guiding leaders in the innovation ecosystem, Mitacs helps organizations quickly and easily find the talent and expertise they need. We match not-for-profits with top-level talent — from college students and undergrads to graduates and postdoctoral fellows — from the best postsecondary institutions across Canada and from around the world. With the aid of Mitacs interns, your team can be better equipped to drive the research and development that will allow you to accomplish your mission.
