Career Planning
Mitacs is excited to share that we have updated our course portfolio to respond to modern learning preferences, and to better align our content with the competencies needed by industry partners and employers.
The courses are designed to complement the hands-on research skills and experience gained by participants of Mitacs’s programs (Accelerate, Elevate, Globalink) and Canadian university students. Each course is designed to improve upon one or more core competencies and is facilitated by industry leaders.
