Ohpikiwin Series: Journey to financial empowerment

Ohpikiwin means “growth” in Cree. Cree is one of many First Nation communities in Canada.

We are launching an all-new informative series dedicated to the financial empowerment of young Indigenous entrepreneurs. The Ohpikiwin Series: Journey to financial empowerment is delivered in partnership with Youth Business International and Accenture as part of our Indigenous Entrepreneur Startup Program (IESP).

This offering will focus on Indigenous economic inclusion and resilience to assist young Indigenous aspiring entrepreneurs in developing their business financial capacity and entrepreneurship skills.

Interested in learning more about the series? Join our email list to stay connected! We will notify you as soon as the Ohpikiwin Series dates are confirmed.
