A Northern Ontario Indigenous Women’s BIZCamp – January 2021
One of the hardest things for a business is scaling up to achieve solid goals for getting larger contracts outside your present market and clientele. In early 2021, PARO will partner with the Canadian Executive Services Organization (CESO), Blue Sky Healing Centre, and the Go Forth Institute to host a 15-week BIZCamp Pilot to support Indigenous women in scaling their business! This program will touch on all the important things you need to know to scale your business into new markets and take your business to the next level.
Through working with PARO’s top-notch business counsellors and inspiring facilitators from across Canada, Mooka’am Kwe will support you in positioning your enterprise to access opportunities in resource sectors in Northern Ontario, including mining, forestry, construction and powerline industries.
Over the last decade, the Indigenous-owned economy in Northern Ontario has strengthened considerably, and the opportunities for women-owned businesses should grow with it!
Beginning on January 28th 2021 for 15 weeks, Mooka’am Kwe will arm Indigenous women in business with the tools they need to effectively participate in high-growth industries with huge leveraging potential.
Mooka’am Kwe: She Rises BizCamp is supported by the Government of Canada through FedNor and the Women’s Entrepreneurship Strategy Program.
