12:00-1:00 Lunch and learn. Vancity - Where to look for capital

Facilitated by certified financial trainers at Vancity Savings Credit Union

Making the most of your money in a new business requires many skills and some experience you’ve likely gained through your non-entrepreneur life — such as how to balance a cheque book, who to call to set-up a phone line, what kind of insurance you need and so on. But there are other areas that may be new to you, or, more accurately, different than the experiences you’ve had running your life as Me, Inc. The topics in this workshop and guide fall into the “probably not new, but different” category. We will cover Credit reports, financing and ways to manage your money.

4:00-4:30. Generation mYsunderstood

By 2025, 75% of the workforce will be Generation Y: What does this mean for the future of work? With the average company tenure for a Millennial being just over two years before heading elsewhere, how can organizations leverage and build institutional memory? How do we reduce the time, energy, and finances lost as the recruiting cycle becomes shorter and shorter? How are students being educated about their careers and how can we engage them once they join our companies? This seminar will outline how to better attract, engage, and retain a highly misunderstood generation. The future of work is happening now and businesses have to be sure that the communication of their culture is being done properly to attract the best employees for their organizations.
