Action for Healthy Communities (AHC) provided clients an opportunity to partake in a valuable business field trip and then competed in a friendly business competition. The business field trip gave entrepreneurs the chance to observe real-world business operations, gain practical insights, and network with industry professionals.
AHC entrepreneurs had the opportunity to visit GC Custom Metal Fabrication Ltd, where they asked questions about various aspects of the business, including accounting, longevity in the market, financial management, and handling competition. This firsthand experience provided invaluable insights for our participants on their professional development.
Entrepreneurs then competed in a friendly business competition where they presented their businesses in a three-minute pitch, using slides, products from their businesses, and verbal presentations. Following their presentations, three judges, experts from different fields in business and a representative from ATB, provided feedback, offering insights on market establishment, target markets, business advancement strategies, and financial projections.
After all the speeches, the judges deliberated and decided on the winners of the prizes and the best pitches. The event concluded with entrepreneurs networking with peers and business mentors, exchanging innovative ideas, and receiving valuable feedback from experts, all while competing for recognition and resources.
