High School Outreach Program
About Geotab’s High School Outreach Program
The High School Outreach Program is designed to provide high school students a glimpse into the world of working at a leading technology company, while introducing students to different STEM career options at Geotab.
We have Geotab Campus ambassadors who receive formal training and materials to take on their visit to high schools in the GTA and Waterloo regions where they will deliver a presentation to a selected class. These ambassadors display a strong understanding of our company culture and are prepared to answer questions about Geotab and share their experience as a Geotab intern.
High School Outreach Program launch: Fall 2023.
Our Ambassadors
Our Geotab Campus Ambassadors are current interns who love meeting new people and are enthusiastic about education and inspiring the next generation. Our Ambassadors engage with students by sharing their knowledge and experiences in the industry. With a diverse range of academic backgrounds and a shared passion for innovation, our ambassadors play a crucial role in fostering a community of learning and collaboration.
Visit our Headquarters
We are excited to offer schools the opportunity to bring students to our Headquarters located in Oakville, Ontario for an immersive experience. During their visit, students will not only hear from our Geotab Campus Ambassadors about the exciting world of technology and STEM careers but also get a firsthand look at our work environment through an office tour. This on-site experience is designed to inspire and educate students about the various career paths in STEM.
