"Business has a significant effect on the day-to-day activities of our lives regardless of where we live. The Aboriginal Youth Entrepreneurship Program (AYEP) teaches Aboriginal youth about business and entrepreneurship, in order to help prepare them to engage in business activity with competence and confidence. By receiving Grade 11 and Grade 12 AYEP secondary school credits, the program moves students closer to high school completion and the opportunity to go on to post-secondary studies."
