Local Entrepreneurship Accelerator Program (LEAP) is rolling out in the Oceanside region. This eight-week accelerator program is for aspiring business owners in the Oceanside area who are willing to commit to eight, 3 hour sessions (plus business development time).

A successful applicant is not someone with the perfect business idea, but rather someone who is aware of a meaningful problem in their community, and has an idea for a business which could solve the program. This program is for people who are passionate, action-oriented and committed to seeing their idea through. You do not have to have experience; you just need an entrepreneurial spirit. What’s that? Some comfort with risk, a dollop of creativity and a whole lot of tenacity!

The application deadline is January 30, 2019, with the program to start mid-February. For more information see this week’s hot sheet.

This Thursday January 17th, from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, representatives from Berwick Retirement Communities will be at the Career Centre to meet with interested applicants. Dress business casual and bring your resume. With multiple locations throughout BC including Qualicum Beach and Nanaimo, Berwick is hiring for a variety of positions. More information in this week’s hot sheet.

There is still time to register for our Kickstart Workshop Series, running Monday to Thursday January 14 – 17.

This 4 day workshop series will end in a one day certificate based training course, (such as First Aid) to help make your portfolio shine! For more information see this week’s hot sheet.

This is our last hot sheet for 2018. We will be returning January 8th with our first hot sheet of 2019. All the best to you and your family over the holidays.
