A new gift from Desjardins to 快播视频\u2019s Innovation York will expand two critical accelerator programs that provide training and support in entrepreneurship and help promote innovation.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The funding will continue both Desjardins and York\u2019s commitment to fostering positive change for diverse local communities and uniquely global perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gift supports two initiatives at York, with an infusion over five years to GENIAL (Glendon Entrepreneuriat et Innovation A L\u2019International<\/em>) and over two years to ELLA (Entrepreneurial Leadership & Learning Alliance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Desjardins to create greater access and opportunities for women-led businesses,\u201d says Jennifer MacLean<\/strong>, assistant vice-president, innovation and research partnerships at 快播视频. \u201cThis partnership will enable 快播视频\u2019s YSpace to expand our impact in the community and continue to foster the skills and talents of young entrepreneurs.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GENIAL is a bilingual initiative that offers training, extracurricular activities, and a research program in entrepreneurship and innovation. Desjardins\u2019 gift will allow GENIAL to scale up its bilingual Entrepreneurial Skills Passport (ESP) program that is currently offered to Glendon students. Through the ESP program, GENIAL has trained a diverse population of students from liberal arts and business backgrounds, including domestic and international students enrolled in business, economics, communications, translation, international studies, sociology and psychology. GENIAL was launched in 2017 by Angelo Dossou-Yovo<\/strong>, associate professor of management and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desjardins also supported York\u2019s first accelerator focused on supporting women-led product- and service-based businesses. The donation to ELLA \u2013 a program created by women, for women \u2013 will support the program for the next two years. The funding will help with the sustainability of ELLA\u2019s accelerator programming that provides women entrepreneurs with access to the community, knowledge and resources they need to scale their business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith Desjardins' support, YSpace\u2019s ELLA program will be able to help more women entrepreneurs, particularly those in consumer packaged goods and professional services, take their businesses to greater heights and scale up into national and international markets,\u201d said David Kwok<\/strong>, associate director, entrepreneurship. \u201cThis gift recognizes the value in supporting women-led product- and service-based businesses, providing them with resources as robust as those currently found in the tech sector.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To recognize their contribution and commitment, Desjardins is invited to take part in ELLA\u2019s national advisory committee and act as subject-matter experts to help shape the program\u2019s future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEntrepreneurs play an important role in our society. They are creating innovative solutions to the needs of Canadians and the challenges they face,\u201d said Guy Cormier, president and CEO of Desjardins Group. \u201cWe are proud to support 快播视频 and their young entrepreneurs. They will help shape the world of tomorrow and we\u2019re incredibly happy to be part of something that will give them the resources and tools they need to pursue their goals in life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students and other members of the York community are invited to attend a public talk by Cormier on Sept. 12 at the Schulich Executive Learning Centre on York\u2019s Keele Campus<\/strong>. Hear Cormier's professional journey, starting as a cashier, and how he worked his way up through Desjardins to become the youngest president in the history of the organization. He will also talk openly about the challenges he\u2019s faced in his career and his vision of modern leadership, and answer audience questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le financement du Mouvement Desjardins permet d\u2019\u00e9largir les programmes d\u2019entrepreneuriat \u00e0 York  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Un nouveau don de Desjardins \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 York permettra d\u2019\u00e9largir deux programmes acc\u00e9l\u00e9rateurs cruciaux qui offrent une formation et un soutien \u00e0 l\u2019entrepreneuriat et qui contribuent \u00e0 promouvoir l\u2019innovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le financement permettra \u00e0 Desjardins et \u00e0 York de poursuivre leur engagement envers la cr\u00e9ation de changements positifs pour les communaut\u00e9s locales diversifi\u00e9es et d\u2019offrir des perspectives mondiales uniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le don appuie deux initiatives \u00e0 York avec un apport sur cinq ans pour GENIAL (Glendon ENtrepreneuriat et Innovation \u00c0 L\u2019international) et un autre sur deux ans pour ELLA (Entrepreneurial Leadership & Learning Alliance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Nous sommes ravis de nous associer \u00e0 Desjardins pour am\u00e9liorer l\u2019acc\u00e8s et les possibilit\u00e9s d\u2019entreprises dirig\u00e9es par des femmes, d\u00e9clare Jennifer MacLean<\/strong>, vice-pr\u00e9sidente adjointe des partenariats en mati\u00e8re d\u2019innovation et de recherche \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 York. Ce partenariat permettra au YSpace de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 York d\u2019accro\u00eetre son effet sur la communaut\u00e9 et de continuer \u00e0 encourager les comp\u00e9tences et les talents des jeunes entrepreneurs et entrepreneuses. \u00bb <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GENIAL est une initiative bilingue qui propose des formations, des activit\u00e9s extrascolaires et un programme de recherche sur l\u2019entrepreneuriat et l\u2019innovation. Le don de Desjardins permettra \u00e0 GENIAL d\u2019amplifier le programme de formation bilingue Passeport Comp\u00e9tences Entrepreneuriales (PCE) actuellement propos\u00e9 \u00e0 la population \u00e9tudiante de Glendon. Gr\u00e2ce au programme PCE, GENIAL a form\u00e9 une population \u00e9tudiante diversifi\u00e9e issue des arts lib\u00e9raux et du monde des affaires, notamment des \u00e9tudiantes et \u00e9tudiants nationaux et internationaux inscrits \u00e0 des programmes de commerce, \u00e9conomie, communication, traduction, \u00e9tudes internationales, sociologie et psychologie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GENIAL a \u00e9t\u00e9 lanc\u00e9 en 2017 par Angelo Dossou-Yovo<\/strong>, professeur agr\u00e9g\u00e9 de gestion et d\u2019entrepreneuriat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desjardins soutient \u00e9galement le premier acc\u00e9l\u00e9rateur de York ax\u00e9 sur le soutien aux entreprises de produits et de services dirig\u00e9es par des femmes. Le don fait \u00e0 ELLA \u2014 un programme cr\u00e9\u00e9 par des femmes, pour des femmes \u2014 financera le programme pendant les deux prochaines ann\u00e9es. Ce financement contribuera \u00e0 la durabilit\u00e9 du programme d\u2019acc\u00e9l\u00e9ration d\u2019ELLA, qui permet aux entrepreneuses d\u2019acc\u00e9der \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9, aux connaissances et aux ressources n\u00e9cessaires pour d\u00e9velopper leur entreprise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Gr\u00e2ce au soutien de Desjardins, le programme ELLA de YSpace sera en mesure d\u2019aider davantage d\u2019entrepreneuses, notamment dans les secteurs des biens de consommation et des services professionnels, \u00e0 faire progresser leur entreprise et \u00e0 s\u2019implanter sur les march\u00e9s nationaux et internationaux, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 David Kwok<\/strong>, directeur associ\u00e9, Entrepreneuriat. Ce don reconna\u00eet la valeur du soutien apport\u00e9 aux entreprises de produits et de services dirig\u00e9es par des femmes, en leur fournissant des ressources aussi solides que celles que l\u2019on trouve actuellement dans le secteur de la technologie. \u00bb <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour reconna\u00eetre leur contribution et leur engagement, les Caisses Desjardins sont invit\u00e9es \u00e0 participer au comit\u00e9 consultatif d\u2019ELLA et \u00e0 agir en tant qu\u2019expertes en la mati\u00e8re pour fa\u00e7onner l\u2019avenir du programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Les chefs d\u2019entreprise jouent un r\u00f4le important dans notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9 en cr\u00e9ant des solutions novatrices pour r\u00e9pondre aux besoins de la population canadienne et aux d\u00e9fis auxquels elle est confront\u00e9e, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Guy Cormier, pr\u00e9sident et chef de la direction du Mouvement Desjardins. Nous sommes fiers de soutenir l\u2019Universit\u00e9 York et ses jeunes chefs d\u2019entreprise qui contribueront \u00e0 fa\u00e7onner le monde de demain.
