Business Support Program | Mohamed's Success Story

Mohamed made many mistakes when he started his cleaning business 10 years ago.  He says he wishes he had the benefit of the Entrepreneur Program that he has just completed two weeks ago.  He feels he would have got the information and tools to set up his own business without the missteps and pitfalls as he struggled to set up on his own.

Mohamed says the business program funded by ECALA is very good and he would recommend it to his family and friend to enroll in it.  He said that since it was the first class, the instructors and staff adapted and fine-tuned the curriculum as they went along.  Nevertheless, the program is extremely helpful and unsurpassed for gathering resources to set up one’s own business.

Mohamed is well known in the Guinean community as a trusted adviser and friend and many newcomers from Guinea seek his advice on learning to live in Edmonton.
