Aboriginal Entrepreneur Training

Aboriginal people are starting new businesses at an amazing rate. Over the past 25 years, the number of self-employed Aboriginals has jumped from 7,000 to more than 30,000 - which is four times the national average growth rate. Getting solid training to help their business get off the ground can be a major challenge.

MNP, in partnership with the Alberta Government, is pleased to offer this innovative training program.

Striving to allay the challenges faced by new entrepreneurs, this innovative training program is designed to assist Aboriginals launching a new business, by providing them with the tools to help them succeed. The nine-week program includes management training, business plan assistance, networking support, and five hours of individual business coaching with experienced MNP professionals.

Training workshops cover 15 topics spanning five core business areas including:

1. Business and strategic planning
2. Marketing and market research
3. Financial management
4. Operations and risk management
5. Human resource management

The program is free for qualified participants (i.e. Aboriginals who have an idea for a new business, have just started their own business, or are working full-time and want to start their own business).
