Semaine des entrepreneurs à l'école

Thank you to the teachers and entrepreneurs who helped students catch the entrepreneurial spirit

From November 12 to November 23, 2018, entrepreneurs visited classrooms of more than 20 000 students in elementary school through university as part of the Semaine des entrepreneurs à l'école. The program consisted of a vast array of free conferences in Québec’s schools, led on a volunteer basis by hundreds of enthusiastic entrepreneurs. An activity which taps in to National Entrepreneurship Day and Global Entrepreneurship Week.

The Semaine des entrepreneurs à l’école is an innovative motivational event that brings together thousands of students in elementary school through university and entrepreneurs from their community by means of free presentations offered at school. It is an awareness-raising activity that helps to develop an entrepreneurial culture among young people and encourages them to bring their ideas to life.
