Elevate Talent
About Elevate Talent
The Elevate Talent Initiative is a 90-day rapid workforce development program,
funded by the Government of Canada and powered by Elevate. The initiative equips
professionals from underrepresented communities with the skills and credentials
they need to build thriving careers in the technology and innovation sectors.
Elevate Talent is a collaboratively designed program, created in partnership with
community organizations like WMRCC, national and regional companies in the tech and
innovation sectors, and leading learning institutions. It is specifically designed to
break down the barriers to in tech for underrepresented communities including
Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, 2SLGBTQ+, and Francophone professionals.
From culturally sensitive skills training, micro-credentialing programs designed with
underrepresented communities at the centre and equity-informed employment
support, Elevate Talent levels the playing field for underrepresented communities in
the tech sector.
Members of the BIPOC community are strongly encouraged to apply.

Testimonies from WMRCC Clients
It feels so good to have someone to talk to; someone who understands the issue and sensitive to my feelings. I am always looking forward to coming to my counselling session every week!
Today I hesitated quite a bit before coming to this session. I contemplated cancelling the appointment but here I am leaving a different individual from the one who walked in. I feel so much lighter after my session. These counselling sessions present an opportunity to feel free and clear my mind of negative and other thoughts of hopelessness.
This agency was there for me in the early nineties when majority of the community did not know how to deal with a Muslim woman like me, for that I will always be grateful.
