Welcome to the Untapped Talent Foundation

Empowering Neurdiverse Individuals, Veterans, Returning Employees, and First Nations People

Our Mission.

To bridge the gap between exceptional, yet untapped talent and the meaningful employment opportunities they deserve.

We stand for the neurodiverse, the veterans, the returning employees focusing on women, and the First Nations people - those who have historically been side lined by the conventional pathways to employment.
