Feature Article - May 31, 2007FCFDC youth entrepreneurship competition
by John Inglis
Michelle
Nowell, a student at North Addington Education Centre, won the first
prize of $750 for her business plan titled “Keep Fit Fitness” in
Frontenac CFDC’s annual competition.
Second prize this year went to Duncan McGregor of Sharbot Lake High School, who wrote a business plan for a summer ice cream and milkshake venture. Duncan receives a cheque for $300.
The northern portion of the CFDC’s Youth Entrepreneurship Initiative involves high school students from Sharbot Lake and North Addington. The students hear a local business owner describe the ups and downs of the small business experience, followed by a seminar on business plan writing given by Lance Gibson.
There
was a lot of support from teachers again this year- Lynne Young at
Sharbot Lake and Valerie Allen at NAECand the quality of the student
work is FCFDC youth entrepreneurship competition improving. As always,
we hope that the exercise of writing a business plan will encourage
some of these young people to get out and give self-employment a try.
