Impactful Generation program

What if the next generation of business leaders were the key to change in the workplace, and the best vector for accelerating the socio-ecological transition?

Propelled by the JCCM and co-created with Fondaction in 2022, the new Génération d'impact program has proven its worth and made a concrete contribution to the creation of new impact practices within Quebec organizations.

The concept

Throughout their journey, participants benefit from privileged access to several influential figures from the worlds of business, the environment and social inclusion, the program offers these impact intrapreneurs the opportunity to follow a co-development program to implement new practices within the organizations that employ them.

For program participants, Generation Impact is therefore a unique opportunity to develop their impact leadership skills, network with specialists in the field and share positive initiatives with a change-generating community.

Who is the program for?

The program is aimed at young intrapreneur, aged between 18 and 40, engaged in their workplace. These people may be employees (at least 5 years' experience), professionals, middle managers or supervisors.

Why invest in developing the skills of an organization's committed intrapreneurs?

By equipping the next generation of business leaders to better understand socio-ecological issues and the courses of action available to them, we can more quickly transform today's practices and build tomorrow's economy.

What's more, by investing in the skills development of their committed intrapreneurs, organizations foster a work atmosphere conducive to innovation and the adoption of sustainable practices. Participants will have to carry out a concrete impact project that will have positive repercussions within the structure.

The next generation of business leaders wants to take action and deploy sustainable initiatives. Génération d'impact enables them to do so in a propitious environment that will generate positive and concrete spin-offs.

Why not give them the opportunity to show what they‧elles are capable of?
