How is NIWEE different from other Entrepreneurs programs available to you Entrepreneurs 2022

By enrolling in the NIWEE program, you will have the opportunity to complete the "Entrepreneurs Course" (13 weeks) and "Ready for Business Course.” (13 Weeks)

After finishing these courses, you will receive a Certificate of Achievement that will provide you with ongoing support from our team of mentors, coaches, and subject matter experts for an additional 30 months.

Furthermore, as the NIWEE Ecosystem expands, you will gain access to business networks, group discussions, webinars, and other useful resources.

The program has been developed through extensive research and consultations across Canada, with contributions from various groups, including the University of Ottawa, an Indigenous Advisory Group, Indigenous women consultants, and the Idea Connector Network.

The program content combines Indigenous and Western world views and is designed to help Indigenous women launch or scale an early-stage start-up to improve their economic well-being and that of their families and communities.
