PROSPER x IVEY
PROSPER FOUNDATION
Together, we let limitless possibilities unfold.
Prosper Foundation and Ivey Business School have launched a brand new collaboration focusing on providing the most spectacular experience possible for all aspiring business students across Canada.
​
Our collaboration with Ivey is the first of its kind in Canada, allowing students to learn more about one of Canada's most prestigious business schools through interactive sessions with Ivey professors & representatives or competing in the brand new Prosper Ivey Invitational Competition.
The Prosper Ivey Invitational Competition
The Prosper Ivey Invitational Competition sets the highest level of rigour and standard for youth business conferences in Canada. With our collaboration with the Ivey Business School, we strive to connect the brightest and most talented students across the country to gather together and achieve remarkable things.
The Case Method of Learning
In the case method which Ivey uses for teaching, students are given a case describing a real-world situation in which some type of business problem is being faced. Based on the information provided to them, students must decide what they would do if they were faced with the situation, and what their action plan would be to implement the solution.
​
Inside the classroom, reviewing a case involves a lot of participation from students. There are no clear-cut answers to cases, so there is thorough discussion of all factors that should be considered in making a decision.
How We Are Implementing Case Learning at Our Events
At Prosper 2026, attendees will be able to choose from 1 of 6 different Business Streams to dive deeper into the fundamentals of their chosen field and engage in the case method of learning through a relevant case study. We have designed these Business Streams to cater to the vast interest of our attendees, similar to choosing different majors or concentrations in universities. Attendees will be expected to actively participate in these sessions.
After the case learning component concludes, participants must submit a typed case write up that will factor into their overall Finalist Qualification Score (FQS). Each Business Stream will also award 3 Outstanding Participation Awards for attendees who have demonstrated exemplary participation throughout the session.
