Led by RBC Future Launch and supported by panelists from Jack.org and the Centre for Innovation in Campus Mental Health (a program of the Canadian Mental Health Association), this webinar will feature programs, resources, and other learning opportunities CACEE members can access throughout the year aimed at supporting mental wellbeing for students as they launch into their careers.

May 2nd, 2023 – Focus on Entrepreneurship
12:30 – 1:30 pm Eastern

In 2021 "How to start a business", beat "How to get a job" in Google global search queries (Inc., 2021). In Canada, specifically, there has been a resurgence of entrepreneurship since 2014, driven mainly by younger and older Canadians, immigrants and women (BDC, 2019). While many young Canadians are interested in starting their own businesses often times they don't know where to start. This CACEE webinar is designed for career counsellors who are supporting youth interested in pursuing entrepreneurship as a career pathway. The webinar will provide an overview of free entrepreneurship programs and resources, supported by RBC Future Launch, available for young people. Additionally, in conversation with panelists from League of Innovators and Futurpreneur, this session will dive into some of the truths and misconceptions of entrepreneurship as a career pathway for young people.
