Know a high schooler who fits the bill? Introducing Launchpad: https://lnkd.in/gtF9JM6R
We’re creating a new opportunity at Wealthsimple: Launchpad - a paid, year-long internship for recent high school grads. No degree. No resume. Just curiosity, grit, and the drive to learn by doing. Launchpad interns will rotate through product, design, engineering, marketing and client experience. It’s a hands-on crash course on how a scaling tech company really works. Why are we doing this? ▶️ Because great talent doesn’t follow one path. Some of the sharpest builders in Canada are still in high school - tinkering, shipping, and asking great questions. We want to open the door to them earlier, no matter what’s next - school, work, or their next big adventure. ▶️ Because this generation is AI-native. They’re not adapting to AI. They’ve grown up with it. Their instincts are fast, fluid, and collaborative and we want to learn from them. ▶️ Because bold ideas often start with a simple question: why? Fresh eyes see what others miss and question assumptions. That mindset is exactly what we encourage at Wealthsimple. I’m proud of our team for making it happen and I hope it encourages more companies and schools to rethink how they spot and support early talent.
