COLLEGE OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC
Entrepreneurship initiative launched for students, alumni

For Ian MacDonald, knowing that he's part of something special when it comes to entrepreneurship motivates him to think of more and innovative ways to get students and alumni off the ground with their business ideas.

The Business Development Officer, who is located at CNA Headquarters in Stephenville, has spent the last several months immersed in planning, developing and implementing strategies that give students and alumni throughout the province the tools and resources they need to start or grow their businesses. 

"This experience has been very rewarding," said MacDonald. "The response so far has been extremely positive overall. This is something that's new for the college, and I am thrilled to be part of it from concept to delivery. We know this service was in high demand, and we are excited to be able to provide it, while at the same time, building relationships with entrepreneurs, service providers and other stakeholders. A strong support network will be the key to the success of this initiative."

Wayne Quilty, Director of Partnerships, Entrepreneurship and Community Engagement, says CNA's Entrepreneurship Hub has been a while in the making, and now that it is a reality, it will create even more opportunities for the college's students.
