lakehead 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 extend entrepreneurial guidance to community

(november 18, 2009 --thunder bay, on) from november 16 - 22, members of 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in free enterprise (sife) lakehead are celebrating global entrepreneurship week, a worldwide movement that celebrates and promotes entrepreneurship in more than 85 countries. this event will be celebrated through a series of sife-coordinated activities.

sife lakehead, formerly known as ace lakehead, seeks to represent a global expression of entrepreneurship, and in so doing has rebranded itself in an effort to connect with other sife groups outside of canada. this year sife lakehead has 20 active members.
included in this week's exciting line-up of local entrepreneurial-related events are the launches of two initiatives on november 20, including the aboriginal youth entrepreneurship initiative, and the financial literacy project.

the aboriginal youth entrepreneurship initiative is a mentoring program supported by the martin aboriginal education initiative (as established by former prime minister paul martin). local efforts have been coordinated through contacts at the northern nishnawbe education council, and delivered specifically through dennis franklin cromarty high school. "six of our sife members will work with aboriginal youth at cromarty throughout the year and we're hoping the experience empowers 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 . we want to give them the knowledge and tools necessary to find success in their academic and career endeavours," explains kaniz mouli, sife lakehead co-president. "the overall goal of this program is to encourage the youth we interact with to stay in school and to develop the attitudes, knowledge, and skills they'll need to achieve success after they graduate from high school," adds second co-president madora day. "whether facing tasks at work, with future education and/or training, or just with daily life in general, these basic entrepreneurial skills will encourage 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to embrace concepts that are integral to achieving success." sife members will guide aboriginal 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in the development of business plans and websites, and will assist with projects involving costing, marketing, and budgeting.

at no charge to all members of the community, the financial literacy project offers workshops presented by sife's money matters team, during which financial literacy and financial responsibility are discussed. this initiative is offered as a seminar with discussion focused on budgeting and credit, and asks participants to track their expenses for the duration of the month. monthly visits by members of the money matters team will ensure progress continues as tracked expenses are reviewed and analyzed, and changes made in order to help participants develop and maintain an effective budget. a workshop takes place at 1:00 p.m. on friday, november 20, in lakehead's ryan building, room 1024. it will be open to all 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and members of the public.

"sife lakehead is uniquely positioned this year to make a meaningful and lasting impact through its projects," notes ken hartviksen, named "john dobson ace fellow" in accordance to his role as faculty advisor for sife lakehead. "our sife leadership is building on successes from last year's regional and national levels."

sife will also have a booth set up outside of the outpost on november 18, at which interested parties can obtain more information about sife's community-based activities. sife is interested to learn perspectives on entrepreneurship and welcome viewpoints from members of the university and thunder bay communities. those who visit the booth will be entered in a draw for prizes.

sife members receive guidance from ken hartviksen. they are also counselled and directed by a formal business advisory board (bab) comprising chair and local business person dan stezenko (lakehead alumnus and former lakehead entrepreneurship club president) of quality market, deputy chair barb eccles of 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's innovation management office, and deputy chair royden potvin of thunder bay ventures, among others.
