Become Your Own CEO (Empower Networking Series - Entrepreneurship)

Want to take high-agency and control of your career, beyond the confines of traditional (and dying) 9-5 work?

Then join entrepreneurs, students, and new grads, on November 12, to find career paths you've never even considered!

Who are we?

CanWorks is a workforce development nonprofit helping make real-world experience more accessible to post-secondary students and graduates. We also make emerging talent more accessible to underserved employers, including SMEs, startups, and nonprofits.

I'm kinda into this... but I'm not an entrepreneur.

This event is not solely for entrepreneurs. We simply love to show how you can take ownership of your career. What better way than... getting entrepreneurs in the room?

At CanWorks, we advocate for young Canadians who are considering becoming solopreneurs and small business owners — instead of waiting for a chance to fall in their lap.
