Darrell Cole of Career Trek (l), and Sandra Altner of the Women’s Enterprise Centre (r), talk about, arguably, the two most important aspects of our future
Two of the most important aspects of the future are our youth and growing entrepreneurs (and yes, the more those two areas overlap, the brighter our future will be).
In this session, Darrell Cole of Career Trek spoke about “Helping our Youth Determine Their Future Career Path” and Sandra Altner of the Women’s Enterprise Centre explained “The Value of Developing Entrepreneurs.”
Below are brief bios of Darrell and Sandra, followed by videos of their presentations and the PowerPoint to Darrell’s presentation.
Darrell Cole: Darrell Cole is the creator and founder of Career Trek Incorporated, a Winnipeg-based not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping young Manitobans achieve their educational and career potential. Career Trek’s award-winning work is internationally recognized for its dynamic programming that allows young people (and their families) the opportunity to experience the value that gaining a formal education can have to their lives. Darrell is a social entrepreneur whose interests lie in creating social wealth by finding new solutions to old challenges. As a Winnipeger with deep family roots in small town southwest Manitoba (Miniota, Virden and Pipestone) Darrell is honoured to be able to speak to today’s topic.
