About Us
The CEOx1Day program is designed to close the gap between students and CEOs by identifying promising future leaders and giving them the opportunity to learn business and leadership skills from top Canadian executives.
Founded 14 years ago, CEOx1Day is a student leadership development program, providing career insights and executive networking opportunities to the world’s most promising students. Today, the program runs in more than 10 Odgers Berndtson offices worldwide including the United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, Belgium, Australia, South Africa, and Singapore.
To date more than 160 organizations have participated in Canada including: Bombardier, PayPal, Cineplex, Manulife, IKEA, De Beers, Hallmark Canada, Canadian Blood Services, Indspire, and Amnesty International. You can view the entire list here.
The CEOx1Day Program is looking for students with a strong academic placement, who have demonstrated leadership on campus and in their communities, and who want to change the world! If you're looking for a mentorship and career building opportunity, we invite you to apply to be mentored by one of Canada's top CEOs.
