Redbird – ICUBE Indigenous Program Focus Group

ICUBE at University of Toronto and Redbird Circle Inc. are partnering to develop an entrepreneurship/business training program with an Indigenous lens for Indigenous students. At this time, we are engaging Indigenous students and alumni to receive your feedback and advise that will inform the design of the program. Our goal is to co-develop a program that supports Indigenous people who want to lead sustainable change in their own communities.

For your participation, you will receive a $20 Gift Certificate.
