In today's fast-paced and rapidly changing world, learning, adapting, and growing are keys to success. As Wavemakers, we embrace these values and are excited to announce our brand refresh, including a new website, reflecting our mission to prepare the next generation to lead and transform work for all Canadians.

The job market is constantly evolving with a recent shift to a virtual, technologically advanced world disrupting nearly every industry. Traditional office settings are becoming less relevant, with remote work rapidly increasing in popularity. What we do has even been turned on its head, with technological developments creating an increase in automated systems, intelligent machines and virtual environments.

Entering the workforce often feels equal parts exciting and overwhelming. There may be uncertainty about the future and curiosity about the skills needed to succeed. At Wavemakers’ recent Career Pathways & Networking event hosted with Deloitte in Wavemakers’ virtual campus on May 24th, when asked what helped to prepare for the career path ultimately taken, the panelists all stated that keeping an open mind and being receptive to different opportunities was key to shaping their progress.
