Supporting Emerging Talent Through the ATS Traffic Future Forward Program
Edmonton, Alberta (May 15, 2025) – ATS Traffic is proud to welcome four new co-op students through its dynamic ATS Traffic Future Forward Program—a hands-on learning initiative designed to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world experience.
When the ATS Traffic Future Forward Program was first introduced, it was developed to formalize the process of mentoring future contributors and provide managers with opportunities to guide the next generation of professionals.
The program gives students valuable, practical experience while inspiring ATS Traffic’s workforce with fresh perspectives and innovative ideas.
“At ATS Traffic, we believe in investing in the next generation of leaders,” said Bobby Cantera, CEO of ATS Traffic. “The ATS Traffic Future Forward Program allows students to gain meaningful insights and contribute to our business from day one.”
Nareen Mackenzie, Director of Human Resources, added, “We’re excited to support these students as they grow professionally. It’s incredibly rewarding to see fresh talent bring energy, curiosity, and new ideas into the workplace.”
Through partnerships with local educational institutions, the ATS Traffic Future Forward Program provides students with opportunities to apply their learning in real-world settings.
It helps participants develop practical skills, build professional networks, and prepare for future careers—all while contributing to ATS Traffic’s goals.
With mentorship, collaboration, and skill-building at the heart of the program, the co-op students will gain invaluable experience. At the same time, ATS Traffic benefits from new perspectives and strengthens its connections within the community.
We are excited to welcome our summer semester students and look forward to the contributions they will make.
As these students begin their placements, ATS Traffic remains committed to supporting their career development and is eager to see the impact they will have across projects and teams throughout the organization.
