Join a live CI3 workstream.
Work is scoped against one of the year's three cohorts, March, July or November, with a named role and supervisor.
CI3 Impact Lab
Do the work. Document the experience.
A mentored, project-based learning program where emerging leaders, newcomer professionals, and career transitioners contribute to real CI3 delivery work and build portfolio-ready evidence.
Applications are open. Places are confirmed after review, and payment is arranged once you are admitted.
Learning by delivering
Real projects. Clear supervision. Tangible evidence.
Participants support CI3 event planning, stakeholder communication, content operations, sponsorship activity, registration, logistics, research, and reporting.
Receive mentoring and feedback.
Practice Canadian professional expectations, project documentation, stakeholder communication, and reflective leadership.
Build a defensible portfolio.
Leave with role, deliverables, contribution record, learning hours, feedback, and approved portfolio artifacts.
The promise is precise: CI3 provides mentored, documented Canadian project experience through real event and platform delivery work. The Lab does not guarantee employment, immigration benefit, credential acceptance, paid work, or employer recognition.
Three pathways
Choose the depth that matches your goal.
The Lab runs for one year as three cohorts: March, July and November. Each cohort is one of the year's in-person experiences, and each pathway is a number of those cohorts. Prices are in Canadian dollars. Nothing is charged when you apply: CI3 arranges payment with admitted applicants.

One cohort of the year, March, July or November, for beginners, students, newcomer professionals, and career transitioners testing project delivery.
CAD $400

Annual Pathway

Your record of work
Evidence you can speak from.
The portfolio is not a generic completion receipt. It records the work a participant actually performed and the review it received.
Role, workstream, and contribution.
Project assignments, milestone status, learning hours, and supervisor context stay connected.
Deliverables with review status.
Charters, trackers, meeting notes, risk logs, communications, research, reports, and reflections.
Portfolio-ready, not overclaimed.
Use verified evidence to strengthen a résumé, portfolio, interview example, and professional narrative.
Applications
Apply to the Impact Lab.
The Lab runs for one year as three cohorts, March, July and November. Applying costs nothing and commits you to nothing. If you are admitted, CI3 contacts you to confirm your place and arrange payment.
Applications are reviewed for fit, learning goals, availability, and the supervision CI3 can responsibly provide.
