Empowering Diverse Voices in Product Management

An inclusive product management training program and community for people of all backgrounds, because a more diverse workforce means better solutions for everyone.

Build a more diverse product team to meet the needs of today’s world

APM Canada is a community of product managers and experienced mentors that empower an organization’s Product Managers with the skills, experience, and support to quickly become meaningful contributors to its results-driven product strategy.

How the program works

We take a small group of self-driven candidates through a vocational training model; providing mentorship, training and valuable connections to help them become well rounded Product Managers and future product leaders.

Hire an APM

Participating organizations hire their own APMs. We can consult with you to help you source diverse, suitable candidates!

Sign off

Companies confirm their paid participation with the dedicated APM Canada Chapter. Companies designate a senior product leader to be a mentor for the cohort and participate in sessions.

Begin!

The APM cohort begins their weekly educational sessions and social events that are designed to provide training and an exchange of knowledge, and to grow an engaged community.

Graduate & Alumni

APMs graduate and join alumni of hundreds of APMs. APM’s enjoy benefits of the connected cohort through ongoing online/in-person gatherings, with the potential to grow the community as mentor in the future.

The APM Montreal program helped me build a strong foundation in Product Management while connecting with others within the Product community. I am starting my journey with a tool box that I will be able to use and refine along the way. And special shoutout to the mentors!

APM Toronto/Canada was a really terrific and unique experience for me. The opportunity to connect with people at the same career stage across the city was valuable when I wanted to learn about product from orgs other than my own, and I'm certain it will remain valuable to have met these wonderful people in years to come.

APM Canada was a great experience. Meeting fellow product leaders, networking with them and learning from them was very valuable. The contents of the program were very well structured and covered various topics that would benefit not just aspiring Product Managers but also product-minded entrepreneurs and mentors. The opportunity to work closely with really motivated APM's also gave some visibility into a good candidate pool for PM roles and a benchmark for such a candidate pool. Great team, and would love to be a part of APM Canada.
