Workshops

The Business Start-up Bootcamp is designed as a 4-day pre-start-up business intense work session for potential entrepreneurs. The inspiration for the camp comes from ongoing observation of current industry trends in Eeyou Istchee, where there is heavy loss of investment in entrepreneurship in relation to writeup of business plans; business plans to projects that are, in many cases, never conceptualized. It is therefore SKY’s objective to initiate awareness on the requirements for starting a business and to introduce what is to be found in a business plan, all in the hopes of reducing the high cost to entrepreneurship in Eeyou Istchee.

The camp objectives:

1. To coach entrepreneurs in the process of conceptualizing their business ideals.
2. To educate aspiring entrepreneurs on the contents of a business plan.
3. To provide a forum for entrepreneurs to assess their business idea.
4. To help entrepreneurs estimate the equity requirements of their project and to advise potential savings plan to achieve financial requirements.

With the Start-up Bootcamp, SKY strives to help reduce the risk of business failure due to lack of involvement by the entrepreneur. In addition to presenting the realities of starting a business.
