QSB hosts training camp for Venture for Canada Fellows

A month-long training camp for young entrepreneurs kicked off in late May, when the inaugural group of 25 Venture for Canada (VFC) Fellows descended on Goodes Hall. They came to sharpen their skills before beginning a paid, two-year work placement with start-up partners vetted by VFC.

Queen’s School of Business—the exclusive academic partner of this not-for-profit organization—delivered the intensive sessions led by the school’s faculty and invited guest speakers.

The 25 Fellows, who were chosen after an extensive interview process, hail from B.C., Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia, and are recent graduates of the following universities: Johns Hopkins, McGill, Concordia, St. Francis Xavier, Dalhousie, St. Mary's, Ryerson, U of T, Waterloo, Wilfred Laurier, McMaster, Western, and Queen's.
