Okanagan College Vision
This document outlines Okanagan College's vision for elevating entrepreneurship education and fostering a world-class entrepreneurship ecosystem. Driven by a significant investment from the Hall Family Foundation, the plan focuses on four key areas: experiential learning through curriculum development, attracting expertise with Entrepreneurs-in-Residence, developing dedicated environments like the Hall Entrepreneurship Incubator and Maker Spaces, and providing finance through micro funds and seed capital. The initiative aims to empower youth, equip students with essential skills, support local entrepreneurs, provide innovators with prototyping access, and enable venture growth, ultimately leading to increased participation in entrepreneurship, enhanced entrepreneurial attitudes, and improved business growth rates within the region and British Columbia.
