SKILLSHub Otawa immerses students in hand-on, work-integrated learning experiences with some of Ottawa’s leading tech innovators.
As part of OCDSB’s School Within Innovative & Future Technologies (SWIFT) program, students earn academic credits while working on real-world projects across high impact industries such as AI, cybersecurity, semiconductors, mobility, medtech, and green energy.
This unique hybrid model blends traditional curriculum with immersive, tech-driven experiences. Half the classroom time is dedicated to hands-on learning—technical workshops, media labs, hackathons, mentorship, simulation, and more—delivered in collaboration with experts and businesses that call Kanata North home.
