SEE Canada Grant information session
Investing in staff development through a work-travel experience
We are excited to announce the launch of the 2026/27 Staff Enhancement Experience (SEE) Canada grant this spring. The grant, aimed at supporting the professional development of our regular full-time staff members, offers a unique opportunity by supporting national travel for staff to engage in idea exchange and learning experiences with counterparts from various Canadian universities, colleges, research institutions, or industry partners.
The main objective of the SEE Canada Grant is to enable staff to broaden their knowledge base and return with fresh insights to apply to their roles at Waterloo and share with their teams. The SEE Canada Selection Committee will evaluate proposals from staff members interested in travelling to one or more Canadian organizations for a period of one to two weeks. Each year, up to five proposals will be selected for funding.
To help you learn more, Human Resources is hosting a virtual information session on May 13, 2026, from 12 to 1 pm. The session will provide an overview of the SEE Canada Grant, include insights from a previous grant recipient, and feature a question-and-answer period to help you explore how this program can support your professional development goals.
