Morgan Ebbett Career Services and the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce partner to present a new entrepreneurial workshop series (September 3, 2015 – Comox Valley, BC) This fall, the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce will partner with Karae White from Morgan Ebbett Career Services to offer pre-business workshops designed to successfully build your new business. The Chamber is taking an active role in developing an entrepreneurial culture by offering these workshops. This series of entrepreneurial workshops is based upon the book “Business Model Generation” by Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, which critically discusses strategic management and entrepreneurial tools. The BMC is broken down into 9 building blocks. We will discuss a different building block each week so you can pick and chose which one suits your needs best. Karae White, the instructor, has assisted people with career transitions for 20 years. Karae has travelled across the country helping military members transition to starting a business. Using the Business Model Canvas as the foundation, Karae gathered business building information from schools that have chosen to specialize in entrepreneurial programs like Dalhousie University, University of Regina, and Royal Roads to create this series of workshops. Workshops are offered on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce office.
