What is Entrepreneur Abilities?
Our Entrepreneur Abilities FREE program in collaboration with Momentum Calgary, is designed to empower adults with developmental disabilities interested in self-employment to develop and launch their own small businesses. The program aims to provide specialized entrepreneurship training that is adapted for diverse needs and experiential learning.
​
By working in partnership with disability-serving organizations, inclusive employment initiatives, and family networks to provide holistic support, our goal is to complement existing disability employment supports by offering self-employment as an alternative pathway.
