MITACS Skills Training & Entrepreneurship Program (Step) - Workshops
Travel support is available from PrioNet to attend these workshops located in various cities across Canada! Communications coaching, team building, learning how to manage multiple timelines and projects are starting to be viewed as important as more traditional approaches to education and technical training, which is why Step was developed. PrioNet's sister network, MITACS is offering Step workshops to SYPA and PrioNet Members FREE of charge. Visit PrioNet's site for links to MITACS Step and how to apply.
