The Innovation Cluster Peterborough and the Kawarthas has partnered with the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board to create the LEAPZONE KPRDSB Entrepreneurship Club.
The program will equip high school students with the skills to plan, fund, start, and run a business or social enterprise.
Interim CEO of the Innovation Cluster Nicole Stephenson says it’s important to foster ideas at a young age.
Stephenson adds it’s important help inspire students with ideas.
At the end of the program, selected students from the KPRDSB will have the opportunity to represent their school board at an Ontario-Wide Showcase and Networking Event. This event brings together students from different school boards across Ontario who have participated in similar entrepreneurship programs. The event provides an excellent opportunity for students to learn from each other, share ideas, and expand their networks.
