Building the next generation of product leaders
About the program
APM Montreal is a community-led, cohort based training program for product managers at the start of their career. Each cohort lasts approximately 20 weeks, meeting once a week, with a mix of remote and in person sessions. There are also a few social events throughout the program. Each cohort consists of approximately 15 APMs, with a similar number of Mentors.
In most cases, companies send both an APM and a Mentor as a pair to participate in the program. APM Montreal's mission is to increase accessibility to product management while building a strong tech ecosystem in Montreal. The organisation is run as a non-profit, with all proceeds reinvested in the program.

APM cohort 2023
"[APM] gave me fameworks that I still use today and articles that I still share with colleagues but what it brought me most is confidence in my role. Where I sometimes had uncertainties on some subjects, it gave me confidence and in what I was doing and it was a huge boost personally for my career."
