“Programs such as Aboriginal BEST – the Business and Entrepreneurship Skills Training Program illustrate our commitment to entrepreneurship development. Government provides funding for twelve free training sessions to Aboriginal people, leading to the development of a business plan. Many of you are familiar with that program and have even assisted with its delivery. Since its inception in 2004, over 626 students have completed Aboriginal BEST training, and previous evaluations of the program have shown that a high percentage of BEST graduates move quickly into employment or self-employment.” The Honorable Barry Penner | Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation | CCAE Aboriginal BEST Entrepreneur Program Testimonial
