Deadline: 14-Oct-21
Applications are now open for the Canada’s Next 36 Program to support the community of entrepreneurs in any way they can.
The first four months the program is part-time while you complete your academic year and balance building your venture, followed by a full-time intensive commitment from May until August.
This program consists of a remote period from December to late April and a Toronto segment traditionally delivered in person in Toronto starting in early May. However, in light of concerns re: COVID-19, they are exploring digital and virtual delivery methods to protect the safety of the entrepreneurs, staff and community.
