Program Overview
Workplace Innovation connects students in a group to collaborate alongside an organization in the non-profit, charitable, social enterprise, or for-profit sector to complete a social impact project. Moving through innovation training, students have the opportunity to pitch for funding in implementing their solution in health, environmental, social, or international development sectors.
By way of Workplace Innovation, students are exposed to networking opportunities within and external to the University of Waterloo through GreenHouse one-on-one coaching as well as connections to over 200+ previous social innovators.
The projects are flexible and can be pursued as a non-credit experiential learning opportunity, practicum, or as their capstone project, depending on the academic program.
