INDUSTRY ADVISORY | CPCIS
Industry Advisory
Venture capital and private equity are often consid-
ered “apprenticeship” businesses. Across the Cana-
dian landscape, coverage of these critical sectors is
almost completely absent in post-secondary educa-
tion.
Recent graduates and high-potential hires are often
expected to learn on the job, under the stress and
risk of high-value, real-world decisions.
