Developing youth entrepreneurship starts today!

We know, just like you do, that regional development is like a wheel that keeps turning. To build our collective future, we have created the Youth Strategy. We are therefore fostering the entrepreneurial future of the Drummond RCM by supporting initiatives for young entrepreneurs.

What is entrepreneurship?

How can we inspire and encourage young people to become entrepreneurs?

We believe that by creating meaningful opportunities for young people to connect with entrepreneurs and employers, we can spark inspiration. In short, we aim to create the spark that ignites dreams and passions! We work proactively to prepare the next generation of entrepreneurs.

  • Promote local entrepreneurs
  • Build student-business connections
  • Support youth entrepreneurship projects
  • Encourage experience sharing and mentorship

Youth Strategy

CAE is proud to support development projects that promote the next generation of entrepreneurs.

For example:

  • Élan-CAE Drummond Competition by the Drummond Chamber of Commerce Junior (JCCD)
  • Major partner of Entrepreneurship Month with Carrefour jeunesse-emploi Drummond
  • Jury member for the “Dans l’œil du Dragon junior” event

The Youth Strategy is a constructive way to initiate the entrepreneurial cycle.
These young entrepreneurs have dreams… They may eventually bring them to life, participate in the Élan competition as business owners, and contribute to our region’s economic growth!
