The Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism & Commerce has been an active participant of the BYOB project.
The key reason that BYOB has been a big success to date is the continued support to help local youth establish their own businesses and gain new entrepreneurial skills that will help them in their future careers as business people.
So far this year The East Central Ontario Training Board has hosted 3 youth entrepreneur camps that involved approximately 200 local students in full day activities and learning, with another 2 camps to be held in the fall.
The feedback from the students has been very positive. To date there has been 9 young entrepreneurs accepted into the program for support and access to the $3,000 startup grant.
Some great businesses have already begun, ranging from a construction and design business, a database management company to a masonry company.
It is the goal to increase the number of participants before the end of this worthy initiative.
