Seeds to Success

I remember the first time I went into an elementary school classroom to talk about entrepreneurship.  I asked the children to describe an entrepreneur – they all named a prominent business owner in the community who was your stereotypical business owner: male, white, privileged, heterosexual and had lots of money.  Next, I asked them if they could be entrepreneurs – they answered no, of course not, we're just kids!

There have been so many technological advances, it can be hard to keep up! Many small businesses don’t have the technical skills or the capacity to promote their businesses through websites, social media, etc. We are always looking for more time, with limited resources, but this is where I can help. The Digital Economy Program is free for eligible businesses and designed to save time. 

Community Futures West Yellowhead supports and promotes a diverse and inclusive workplace.  Do you?

There's often some confusion between diversity and inclusion.  These terms are used interchangeably, but their meaning is quite different.
