The
trainers
working with Aboriginal Entrepreneur are business people and have
assisted hundreds of young people to start
their own business. In the James Bay district of Quebec alone
they have assisted to start over 200 businesses the majority
of
which are still in business today.
We teach, mentor and coach participants to start and
operate their own
business. It is this methodology that makes our program
work.
