Job Shadow Day | High School Students
Since 2004, VersaFi has invited young women and non-binary senior high school students with an interest in business to spend a day in the Canadian financial district.
Elevating women in the finance sector
VersaFi’s Post-Secondary Mentorship Program pairs women and non-binary undergraduate and graduate students with a professional currently working in the finance sector. Students gain valuable insights, guidance and advice from their mentors that will help set their careers in motion.
Mentees will be paired with one mentor (male or female) for a six-month period. These meetings can be held virtually or in person, and will allow mentees to discuss a wide range of topics that may include:
Mentees have a unique opportunity to gain insights, guidance and advice from a mentor working in the finance sector.
*The program is open to students across Canada. Due to the geographically concentrated nature of the sector, geographic proximity between mentors and mentees may not always be feasible but will be prioritized wherever possible.
Mentors have the opportunity to provide mentees with insights, guidance and advice on entering a career in the finance industry. Mentor guidance and experience provides a lasting impact on a student starting a career in the industry.
Successful candidates will be contacted via email following the application close date.
Applications for the 2026-2027 Cohort are set to open in May 2026.
