Community-Based Ideation Workshops

EntrepreNorth is offering a series of FREE ONLINE Community Ideation Workshops in partnership with Indigenous governments, organizations, and communities across the North. These workshops are for youth between 18 to 35 years of age who have a business idea that they want to develop. 

Our EntrepreNorth team will guide participants through an exciting business design journey using our very own Multi-Directional Business Compass. The Compass offers an Indigenous-centered perspective for thinking about business, community, and economic impact in a more circular and holistic way.  Following the workshop, participants will gain access to online business education content and exercises covered in the workshop. The workshop will wrap up with a fun pitch event and prizes to celebrate everyone's work.
