New options to attend training in rural communities!

Participants now have a new alternative to access training!

TRAINING SITE OPTIONS
If your community has a library that is part of the Chinook Arch, Marigold or Shortgrass library systems you can access the training sessions via videoconference.
All you need to do is register by filling out the participant agreement and the non-disclosure form and sending to the Chinook Entrepreneur Challenge to info@chinookchallenge.com, fax (403) 327-8476, drop/mail 2626 South Parkside Drive, Lethbridge, AB T1K 0C4.
On the registration form, you will be able to indicate where you would like to attend the training sessions. For a list of options in the RISE network (community libraries), click here. Participants should also visit or be in touch with their local Community Futures. Partner offices are in Pincher Creek, Lethbridge, Taber, Strathmore, Medicine Hat and Kindersley.
Of course, participants are encouraged to participate in the in-person sessions hosted in Lethbridge (location to be confirmed, *hint: university).

TRAINING SESSION CONTENT
This year, we're doing the training a little different. We're asking our community partners to join us and impart their business wisdom upon us! For the past few cycles, we've hosted eight training sessions that take the participant through the importance and elements of a business plan. We have lots of great guests and speakers coming in who can answer your questions and show a genuine interest in seeing southern Alberta's economy grow!
