Applications for young entrepreneur bursary now open
Young entrepreneurs looking to make a mark in their communities now have an initiative they may turn to for help with their budding businesses.
The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce has announced a Young Entrepreneur Bursary Program that provides $5,000 to 57 business-minded young people and the local chamber is looking to help applicants in the Battlefords.
“I think it’s really positive,” said Linda Machniak, chief operating officer, Battlefords and District Chamber of Commerce.
“Obviously, we want to ensure a continuity of business and having young entrepreneurs get support and peer networking but also become part of the mentorship program in the package.”
