Second cohort of entrepreneurs for the Savoir entreprendre Matawinie program!

Eleven entrepreneurs from the Matawinie MRC took part in the Savoir entreprendre program this year. Offered for the second year running, this program enabled a group of new entrepreneurs to perfect their management skills, through training and on-the-job coaching. Initiated by the Société d'aide au développement de la collectivité (SADC) Matawinie, the program aims to offer special support to businesses in their first years of existence.

The program would not have been possible without the invaluable contribution of our partners, who have firmly believed in the benefits of such a project from the outset. We would therefore like to thank Emploi Québec Lanaudière and Desjardins Entreprises Lanaudière, major partners in the program. We would also like to acknowledge the contribution of the Service de développement local et régional de la MRC Matawinie.
