The news release mentions how increasing Aboriginal entrepreneurship is a key goal of the Government’s Federal Framework for Aboriginal Economic Development. The article discusses how close to $250,000 was invested by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada to the GoForth Institute to “help the organization modify its successful online entrepreneurial education program to make it relevant to an Aboriginal audience.” GoForth is now providing online small business and entrepreneurship training to over 35,000 Aboriginal business students.
