The Startup Blueprint
Helping you learn how to bring your business idea to reality!
The Financial Aid and Awards presents ‘Thrifty Thursdays’, a series of workshops to help you stay on track financially.
The Startup Blueprint welcomes Ryan Burwell from Georgian College’s Henry Bernick Entrepreneurship Centre (HBEC). Ryan takes great pride in his ability to help support students in their startup journey. During this workshop, you will learn:
- Finding the entrepreneurial path that’s best for you
- The key elements that must be in place for your business to be viable
- Resources and supports from the Henry Bernick Entrepreneurship Centre
- And much more…
In-person location: C259, Barrie Campus. A free pizza lunch is provided to in-person attendees.
Registration for in-person and online attendance is required using the Register button. In-person attendance is limited, and seats are given on a first-come, first-served basis. If you plan to attend in-person, we encourage you to bring your laptop and headset in case all seats are full. You are always welcome to attend virtually instead.
We have even MORE rewards to help you learn AND save!
