The Future Leaders Academy is a nationally recognized engineering education training program led by the Canadian Engineering Education Association / Association canadienne de l’éducation en genie (CEEA-ACÉG). The overarching goal of the Future Leaders Academy is to cultivate an ecosystem to support engineering education excellence that is recognized within Canada and globally, to inspire continual innovation, and elevate engineering education scholarship, through the accelerated training of early-career educators. This innovative year-long training and mentoring program unites educators, organizations, resources, and initiatives so that all stakeholders can collaboratively work together to effect transformational change in the way we educate engineers.

Each year up to 12 participants are nominated by the Deans of Engineering Faculty of their respective institutions.
