SOCIAL AND COOPERATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP
TRAINING WORKSHOPS
As part of the Welcoming & Settlement Centre of Kingston, ACFO Mille-Îles in collaboration with the Cooperation Council of Ontario (CCO) presents a series of workshops on social and cooperative (co-op) entrepreneurship.
The Collective Entrepreneurship webinar series offers permanent residents training that will allow them to gain the knowledge to eventually create a social enterprise or co-op. This webinar series promotes collective entrepreneurship that allows immigrant newcomers to contribute to society and the local economy.
