Groundbreaking initiative that connects high school students with real-world business environments
IMadeIt was founded on a clear vision: to connect ambitious students with thriving small businesses. We saw a disconnect – students navigating uncertain career paths while micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) struggled to find fresh talent and support.
In Canada and the U.S., many students feel lost; 52% change their major, and nearly half regret their career choices. Simultaneously, MSMEs often lack the resources and visibility to attract the help they need to grow.
We created IMadeIt to bridge this gap. Our platform connects high school students with real-world co-op experiences within growing SMEs. Students gain clarity, confidence, and valuable career skills. Businesses receive new energy, fresh perspectives, and dedicated support.
We believe in making an impact now. From the start, IMadeIt was designed as a place where young talent and growing businesses can start small and grow strong -together.
We’ve witnessed incredible transformations: students who once doubted their path now mentor others, and businesses that struggled to survive now innovate with their youth partners. We’re not just facilitating co-ops; we’re building a community where purpose meets possibility.
This isn’t just education. This is empowerment. This is IMadeIt.
