Here is what some of our program participants have to say
“Working with the MNP Self Employment Program I was able to develop leadership skills that have grown beyond my own expectations. These skills set me up for success as a new business owner and have continued to allow me to grow and be a leader for others.
This program gave me the opportunity to connect with other entrepreneurs and allowed us to share our experiences, celebrate our wins and overcome our challenges together.”
- Tasha Rhead

“The program was very well laid out and walked you through the ‘ups and downs’ of being self employed and how to prepare. It was based on reality and not ‘text book’, which I loved! And of course, my facilitator, Janice was very knowledgeable, made the class interesting and always had a beautiful smile to greet us with!”

Carolynn’s Reflexology
“Fear & excitement can be two of the prominent feelings you have when starting out on a new venture, and the Self Employment Program delivered by MNP helped me understand what to do and not do in business. They helped to eliminate uncertainty in building Abco Elevator, a company that now employs 11 full time and 3 part time employees.
I whole heartedly recommend this program to emerging self employed individuals, and am so thankful to have been able to be a participant of the Self Employment Program.”
