Comment le programme fonctionne-t-il?
1
Students apply for an entrepreneurial thinking placement facilitated by their school, through Experience Ventures.
2
Startups and social ventures provide in-kind support, such as time, space or expertise, and benefit from having students work on projects at no cost, while students are paid for their time through Experience Ventures at their school.

Both students and ventures go through an onboarding process and participate in one of five types of entrepreneurial thinking placements. After they have completed the placement, both students and ventures evaluate their experiences.
Qu’est-ce qu’un stage axé sur l’esprit entrepreneurial?
Experience Ventures facilitates entrepreneurial thinking placements at schools and new ventures across Canada.
Entrepreneurial thinking is being creative in finding innovative solutions. It involves taking initiative, exchanging knowledge across disciplines, being resourceful and learning from experience. It is essential to enriching lives and advancing society.
An entrepreneurial thinking placement is a structured, short term opportunity (with honorarium) with a startup or social venture that has partnered with a student’s school. The goal is to empower students to develop and apply entrepreneurial thinking skills aimed at making them future ready.
Experience Ventures offers five types of entrepreneurial thinking placements:
Marathon de programmation ou marathon technologique
A one- to two-day event in which ventures present students with real world challenges and ask them to provide innovative solutions.
Défis
Ce type de stage s’étend sur plusieurs semaines. Les étudiants sont appelés à élaborer des solutions plus complètes à un défi de nature sociale, commerciale, conceptuelle ou communautaire.
Projets
Ventures present students with a specific project, and the school matches it to talent from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds.
Étudiant en résidence
Students selected by the incubator receive unique opportunities to work with several ventures over the course of a term.
Projets d’équipe interdisciplinaire
Les incubateurs forment des équipes d’étudiants de disciplines variées et leur soumettent un projet destiné à une entreprise ou à un groupe d’entreprises.
Entrepreneurial thinking placements create a connection between today’s needs and tomorrow’s challenges. Students experience innovation first-hand and learn how to apply its principles in their careers. Startups and social ventures can plan for the future knowing they have the right talent to power their growth.
Experience Ventures is funded by the Government of Canada and is delivered in partnership with post-secondary institutions nationwide.
Quelles sont les compétences entrepreneuriales?
Les stages axés sur l’esprit entrepreneurial enseignent aux étudiants cinq compétences clés et les aident à se préparer à une carrière dans l’économie de l’innovation :
Résilience
Développer une mentalité axée sur la croissance pour savoir persévérer malgré les obstacles.
Esprit constructif
Redéfinir les obstacles comme des occasions d’innover.
Pragmatisme
Accélérer l’apprentissage par l’intermédiaire d’expériences concrètes.
Gestion du risque
Élaborer des stratégies pour gérer l’incertitude.
Pensée systémique ou transdisciplinaire
Concevoir des solutions novatrices qui transcendent les frontières habituelles.
Selon nous, l’esprit entrepreneurial ne se limite pas à un type de personnalité ni à une discipline, ni même aux entrepreneurs. Nous croyons qu’il englobe un ensemble de compétences accessibles à tous et dont chacun peut tirer parti pour faire progresser sa carrière.
