Youth Leadership and Entrepreneurship

Youth Leaders in Entrepreneurship, was in response to the continued increase of youth unemployment and under-employment in Canada and how entrepreneurship, self-employment and start-ups offer ways for youth to find viable employment. Through expert presentations and workshops, participants learned more about the employment and entrepreneurship opportunities in Alberta. Putting theory into practice, participants will make several field visits to observe ongoing youth employment initiatives in Edmonton.

From there, the Seminar participants analyse their research findings and explore innovative and sustainable solutions to improve the employment situation for youth in Alberta.
