Met Innovation Centre for Entrepreneurship (MICE) Program

The Met Innovation Centre for Entrepreneurship (MICE) Program is a collaboration between North Forge and the Seven Oaks School Division designed to nurture future Canadian innovators. Through partnerships with Maples Met, Seven Oaks Met, and Exchange Met schools, students gain hands-on entrepreneurial experience at North Forge. They develop their own ventures—from app development to social enterprises—while being mentored by experts in innovation, technology, and design.

1

Hands-On Learning

Students participate in weekly educational sessions and internships tailored to their business interests.

2

Project Focused

Instead of exams, students pitch their progress through public presentations at the end of their school year, showcasing real-world startups

3

Skills for the Future

Students gain expertise in business management, design, and emerging technologies, preparing them for the rapidly changing workforce.

Since 2018, we’re proud to have helped over 30 students to explor their passion for entrepreneurship.

“This program develops the next generation of Canadian entrepreneurs and leaders, equipping them with the skills to drive innovation and change.”
