Hello attached in the pdf is baby-sitting invoice for the month of April. Thank you for this last month of assistance for my sitter. I really appreciated the help I got and happy to say I'm a full time employee at Canalta hotel. Have a great day and once again I am forever grateful for the opportunity I was given to make this happen.  

I learned a lot in the Change It Up Entrepreneur program about business and it was terrific. But the thing that really helped get my business going was the personal mentorship. Being able to call and work thru challenges, even just knowing someone was there and would help, that's what really made a difference. That's why my company is on the road today!

It really helped me achieve my goal of going to College off reserve.

It helps First Nations people get jobs and succeed.

I started from nothing. It really changed my life. ​

Through this program I learned computer skills, created a business plan, a website and a network of support.  More importantly I built my self confidence and learned what it takes to start a small business.

I'm going to miss this group. It's been an awesome experience and I'm very grateful I had this opportunity.

I feel confident I have gained enough skills to run my own business.

This has been an experience of a lifetime. I'm so happy I gained the confidence and knowledge I need to run a business.

These types of programs need to be offered to the youth in our community to start them off early. Becoming a entrepreneur has made me realize these are the types of things our community needs.

This program has made a huge difference in my life - and also in my family's life.

What helped me succeed in the program was all the positive feedback and continued support from staff and peers.

The program prepared me for off-reserve school and for work.

It was excellent. I have learned lots of skills that will help me find work.

Change it Up Trades is inspiring and motivating.

I would recommend the program to anyone interested in the trades.
