The Squamish Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to fostering a thriving business community and empowering the next generation of leaders.
Two of our flagship initiatives, the Business Essentials Series and the Youth Connect Program, exemplify this commitment.
Business Essentials Series
The Business Essentials Series is designed to equip local businesses with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed.
This series offers a range of workshops and seminars covering critical topics such as digital marketing, human resources, financial management, and customer service excellence.
Each session is led by industry experts who provide practical insights and actionable strategies. By participating in the Business Essentials Series, local entrepreneurs and business owners can stay ahead of industry trends, enhance their operational efficiency, and drive sustainable growth.
Youth Connect Program
Our Youth Connect Program specifically supports high school students from Howe Sound Secondary in the Entrepreneurship 12 class. This initiative provides these students with valuable opportunities to connect with local businesses through internships, mentorships, and networking events.
The most recent Youth Connect event was held on Nov. 7th at Capilano University. The program not only helps students gain real-world experience and develop essential skills but also fosters a sense of community and belonging. By engaging with the Youth Connect Program, businesses can tap into a pool of motivated young talent, while students gain insights into potential career paths and build professional networks.
Together, the Business Essentials Series and Youth Connect Program are shaping a vibrant and resilient future for Squamish.
We invite all local businesses and young individuals to join us in these transformative initiatives.
