(TORONTO, ON) May 14, 2024 – Enactus students from Fleming College were awarded the 2024 RBC Future Launch Project Accelerator Best Project title at the Enactus Canada National Exposition Opening Ceremony.
This project’s mission is to help youth succeed in today’s challenging world. The project offers free workshops, events, and a resource portal with the goal of filling any gaps in knowledge on subjects that aren’t usually covered in traditional education. This year, the team has expanded the project reach to encompass more than 5 cities and has directly impacted 1600 youth.
In operation since 2019, the RBC Future Launch Project Accelerator, funded by RBC and the RBC Foundation, is designed to empower Enactus teams with the resources needed to identify, create, and deliver projects that help set up youth for a thriving future. The program is designed to help young Canadians prepare for a drastically changing workforce through work readiness, networking opportunities and skills development.
“RBC is committed to strengthening the workforce of tomorrow by equipping youth with the skills needed for a thriving future” said Mark Beckles, Vice President, Social Impact & Innovation, RBC. “We are proud to partner with Enactus Canada to unlock the potential of the next generation of Canadian entrepreneurs who will help fuel Canada’s economic prosperity.”
