Fredericton Chamber Launches Latest Business Immigrant Mentorship Program
The Fredericton Chamber of Commerce launched the latest cohort of its Business Immigrant Mentorship program at Planet Hatch on Wednesday.
Some of Fredericton’s newest entrepreneur residents will participate in the three-day bootcamp as an introduction to doing business in Canada before entering the full 8-week program.
The bootcamp will be run by facilitators Ron and Connie Robichaud of C & R Care & Consulting and will challenge aspiring entrepreneurs to identify business opportunities and assess the viability of life as an entrepreneur.
Day one will be about understanding the climate of small business in Canada. Day two will get more into the specifics by focusing on environment, structure, licensing and taxation requirements. The final day of the bootcamp will concentrate on internal business operations, human resources, finance and marketing.
The full program aims to cover all aspects of running a startup.
