TORONTO, May 12 - The POA Foundation is proud to announce the launch
of its 2nd annual Canadian development endeavor, Project Beyshick. This
year, 25 individuals will be selected to participate in the mentorship
program aimed at nurturing entrepreneurship among First Nations
communities.
The participants will embark an intensive experience in Toronto,
where they will be paired with a CEO or senior executive from one of
Canada's top companies. Each participant will spend three days
observing and job shadowing their assigned business mentor in a
mainstream corporate setting.
Participants will also spend time attending professional development
workshops, organized by the POA Foundation and presented by inspiring
business leaders.
Project Beyshick began in 2005 as a joint venture between the POA
Foundation and the Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN). It depends on the
strong and trusting relationship developed between the partners; the
Project is intended to continue indefinitely on an annual basis. While
Project Beyshick is currently an initiative of POA Foundation and NAN,
individuals from aboriginal communities across Canada are encouraged to
apply to the program.
We will consider all applicants who are keenly interested in Project
Beyshick and who meet the selection criteria of the program.
