startSMART
I recently saw that the Praxis school of Entrepreneurship in Saskatoon, is offering comprehensive entrepreneurship training through its startSMART program. Information sessions take place @ Labour Market Services.
July 5, 2013 2pm - 3pm
and
July 9, 2pm - 3pm.
In this program, you will be applying your learning to a business of your own. In the first phase, you will be learning everything from how to take an idea and turn it into an opportunity, through to the development of a fully researched business plan. We help you develop your entrepreneurial acumen into a management skill set that will help you make solid business decisions. You will meet people who can help you in your business like a lawyer, accountant, insurance agent, sales professional, bankers, funders and people in government who can help you navigate the regulations that you need to know about.
In the second phase you are supported by entrepreneurs through a coaching process that will help you develop the skills needed to "report to yourself" since you are now your own boss. And because you all want to continue to connect with your fellow entrepreneurs, we have a few more workshops that help in the launch phase of a business.
In the final phase, we provide less frequent coaching because you are a busy person running your new enterprise. But we are there to make sure you develop the skills to meet your targets and make the difference in the world that you want to make.
