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.
