Calling all MSVU students! The Centre for Women in Business, situated in the McCain building, exists to support women-identifying entrepreneurs at all stages of business - from idea through to high-growth. Together with Mount Saint Vincent University, Saint Mary's University, and Dalhousie University, we are pleased to share the following programs happening this Fall. The RBC Alliance of Young Women Entrepreneurs program (AYWE) empowers female students to reach their full potential to become entrepreneurs through connection and learning. Through this free program, each student will: - connect with other students - receive leadership coaching and business training through regular workshops - have access to one-on-one business advisory sessions - have opportunities to attend business conferences and events - create and execute a business plan Program participants also receive a complimentary membership to the Centre for Women in Business. In addition to our AYWE program, explore two other fantastic opportunities: the Dal Innovates Collide Program and the SMU Ignition Program. The Dal Innovates Collide Program fosters innovation by connecting students with mentors, resources, and opportunities to develop and pitch their entrepreneurial ideas. The SMU Ignition Program provides essential guidance, mentorship, and support to help early-stage entrepreneurs kickstart their business ventures. Both programs are excellent platforms for aspiring innovators and business owners to turn their ideas into reality! Learn more about all three programs here: https://lnkd.in/eTCrUhS5
