Join a live CI3 workstream.
Work is scoped against one of three annual flagship event cycles, with a named role and supervisor.
CI3 Applied Leadership 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.
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.

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.
