What if entrepreneurship were the key to preparing our youth for the future?

What if entrepreneurship were the key to preparing our youth for the future?

In a rapidly changing world where familiar landmarks are constantly shifting, every parent is left wondering: how do we prepare our children for what lies ahead?

Artificial intelligence and automation are reshaping the world our children will grow up in, bringing both unprecedented opportunities and challenges we are only beginning to understand.

At times, I share the same nostalgia as Fouki: "Bring me back to the 80's." Back then, even without knowing exactly what the future held, we at least had time to adapt.

It is in this context that entrepreneurship takes on its full meaning as a powerful learning tool. Creating an entrepreneurial project, even a simple one, pushes young people to step outside their comfort zone, build connections, navigate unexpected situations, and persevere. In short, these are essential skills that will be at the heart of their success in the years to come.

It's with this spirit in mind that we launched the adventure of the Plateau's Young Entrepreneurs Market. For this third edition, more than 70 young participants will have the opportunity to run their own business for a day at the Agora. More than just a market, it's a true hands-on learning experience, a space to try, learn, and grow.

Mark your calendars for June 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and come meet these young minds full of creativity. Also, keep an eye on the June 1st newsletter, where we'll introduce the partners supporting our youth.

Keep an eye on the June 1st newsletter, where we'll highlight the partners committed to supporting our youth, including the Gatineau Chamber of Commerce, which will play an active role alongside our young entrepreneurs.
