Program #1118:
- SELF-EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM
Type of Program or Service:
- Capilano University’s BOSS Self-Employment Entrepreneurship Program provides its entrepreneurs with practical and current skills, tools and thinking. BOSS entrepreneurs learn more than just book-skills such as accounting, sales, operations, marketing and management; they acquire tools to build and sustain their businesses. BOSS instills its entrepreneurs with knowledge to achieve the results they want. Our mentors, advisors and instructors all work together for one outcome: the success of BOSS entrepreneurs.
BOSS consists of 48 weeks of skills sharpening, knowledge building and ideas refining. In addition to our 10-week intensive training immersion, BOSS entrepreneurs receive on-going mentorship, support and advising; they attend BOSS Café every month, and receive further business knowledge through 12 annual Return to Training events.
In their first 10 weeks, BOSS entrepreneurs learn to design, adjust and use their Business and Action Plans; refine their target markets; position their unique product and/or service; and work for their businesses rather than in their businesses. The next 38 weeks consist of plan implementation, advising and mentoring.
To qualify for the program, you must:
• Be currently receiving EI benefits, or have received EI benefits within the last three years, or have received maternity/parental benefits within the last five years
• Be legally entitled to work in Canada
• Have cash or in-kind assets equivalent to a minimum of 25 per cent of your EI benefits
• Have a specific business concept
If you meet the above qualifications, please attend an information session. Information sessions are every Monday except holidays at 2:30 pm in the Capilano University library room LB119. Call us if you have any questions. We’re here to help you realize your Self-Employment ambitions.
