Venture for Canada receives an additional $23.2 million in funding from the Government of Canada

Venture for Canada (VFC), where Canada’s next entrepreneurs are cultivated, announced it received $23.23 million in additional funding from the Government of Canada.  The funding received by VFC will support 6,097 students to participate in VFC’s programs over the next two years.

VFC’s programs provide Canadian post-secondary students with the opportunity to develop entrepreneurial skills through working at small and medium-sized businesses. Students participating in VFC’s programs gain practical work experience, receive entrepreneurial skills training, and connect with peers.

These programs are funded by – and funded in part by – the Government of Canada’s Student Work placement Program and the Innovative Work-Integrated Learning Initiative.
