What is GrowthHub?

The North Vancouver Chamber has partnered with Capilano University to develop a new Work Integrated Learning (WIL) initiative! GrowthHub offers businesses and students an opportunity to collaborate on projects designed to address the business’s need while providing students with relevant experience and employable skills. Prior to each semester, we will be selecting local employers to connect with students at CapU with the goal of addressing any challenges the business/organization is currently facing. These projects will run for the duration of the semester. Fall: Sept - Dec Spring: Jan - April Summer: May - Jun & Jul - Aug
