New webinars will help British Columbians to learn about strategies, tools and resources available to help them to spur economic development in their communities.
Building on the success of 15 previously offered Economic Development Essentials for Local Leaders workshops, free webinars are scheduled for September and October:
• Sept. 26 – 1:30-3 p.m., Business Retention and Expansion: What can a BR+E program do for your community?
• Oct. 10 – 1:30-3 p.m., Good Strategic Planning: Getting to where you want to be.
These webinars are offered at no cost and provide rural and urban communities access to expert advice on economic development topics.
British Columbians can exchange ideas, good practices and innovative solutions to problems faced by communities.
Since 2009, the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training has delivered 30 different webinars on various topics of interest to local government staff, elected officials and other community leaders throughout British Columbia and beyond.
Webinars have the added benefit of forgoing the travel time, expenses and environmental impacts associated with attending traditional seminars.
