What we do
We provide strategic advice, insightful research, and professional development for employers and educational institutions to help them attract and engage the next generation.
Why we do it
We believe that the school-to-school and the school-to-work transitions are broken and that this is costly for students, educational institutions, employers, and the broader economy. With our help, our clients are improving these processes and making a positive impact on today’s youth.

The Brainstorm Report for Schools
The Brainstorm Student Interests Report is a comprehensive research study that provides an in-depth look at the mindset of Canadian post-secondary students.
In addition to providing data related to students’ career aspirations, job search behaviours, and employer interests, the report gives career, co-op, and WIL offices specific feedback regarding students’ experience using these services on campus.
