Engineers Canada is soliciting proposals from qualified individuals or organizations (“Bidders”) to develop a business model and strategic growth plan for the Forward Engineering Collective.
The Forward Engineering Collective is a national initiative co-founded in 2024 by six partner organizations. Its core mission is to ensure that all children and youth across Canada have equitable, meaningful access to engineering education and inspiration. It seeks to center historically excluded voices in engineering by reframing the profession as accessible, inclusive, and responsive to community needs. The Collective connects organizations working in K-12 outreach and engineering advocacy to share knowledge, build capacity, and create systemic change.
Aligned with the Forward Engineering Collective’s commitment to equity, justice, reconciliation, and inclusion in engineering education and practice, this request for proposals asks the successful Bidder to develop a sustainable business model and strategic growth plan that enables the Collective to deepen its impact, scale its reach, and secure long-term financial sustainability.
