About Mitacs Training

Since 2008, Mitacs has been offering professional development training to advanced degree graduates, supplementing their education and research experience with the tools necessary to succeed in today’s workforce. Each year, thousands participate in training courses to augment their university learning. Now it’s your turn.

The synchronous components are offered in an interactive learning environment consisting of small groups, with approximately 24 participants. They are facilitated by leading business and industry professionals who have undergone a competitive selection process. Our facilitators are subject matter experts in their respective fields and understand what it takes to succeed professionally. Facilitators deliver hands-on, engaging, and experiential learning.

Sessions are offered at no charge to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows currently registered at a Canadian university.

Who is eligible?

Mitacs Training courses are open to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows currently registered at Canadian academic institutions, past graduate students that have completed a degree from a Canadian institution within the past two years, as well as current participants in Mitacs programs.

All parties involved with the Mitacs Training program must comply with the Canadian host insitution’s policies regarding the ethical conduct of research and scholarly activities. Any issues or disputes around research or academic misconduct will be subject to the host institution’s processes following their institutional policies.
