On Thursday September 24th, 2015, over 70 business people were present to hear Minister Kevin Chief’s keynote address at the inaugural #NextGenMixer. Mr Chief effectively highlighted the important work being made by key organisations in Manitoba in order to create more opportunity for young Manitobans.

The short BOLD Winnipeg video adeptly articulates the core message of #NextGenMixer: Uniting people who see potential and establishing collaborations to produce opportunities for Manitoba’s youth.

World Trade Centre Winnipeg (WTC Winnipeg), Chambre de commerce francophone de Saint-Boniface (CCFSB), Junior Chamber International Winnipeg (JCI Winnipeg) and Junior Achievement of Manitoba (JA Manitoba) formed a partnership and hosted the #NextGenMixer on Stella’s at CCFM's beautiful patio . Together, they promote a strategy that will benefit Manitoba’s economy for decades to come. Their vision of well integrated youth will benefit our province by helping shape the leaders of tomorrow.

The actions from these 4 groups ensure that our young people have opportunities to:
  • better understand the role of entrepreneurship in economics
  • acquire financial management knowledge and skills
  • learn the importance of making connections and maintaining a professional network
  • connect with current, local leaders and grow their network
  • access training for their professional development 
  • explore these opportunities in French or English

JA Manitoba is the foundation that supports the strategy. Their foremost offer to young people is Company Program; a four-month business simulation that teaches grade 10-12 students how to organize and operate a real business. Volunteers from the local business community work with students to launch and run a small enterprise. This gives students the real-world skills and experience that they need to achieve their dreams of becoming entrepreneurs.

JA Manitoba offers many in-class programs that help students understand the importance financial management, the basics of entrepreneurship and the importance of post-secondary education, among others. These in-class deliveries require a 4 hour commitment and present a convenient option for business people to have impact in shaping the future generations as leaders, entrepreneurs and work-ready resources.

"When we make investments to young people, it actually works. The science, the research, the evaluation is unprecedented. The economic impacts are absolutely incredible"  - Minister Kevin Chief, BOLD Winnipeg video

With over 200 000 members in over 100 countries, Junior Chamber International is a leading network of active citizens with a mission to provide development opportunities that empower young people to create positive change.

With the help of the Economic Development Council for Manitoba Bilingual Municipalities (CDEM), JCI Winnipeg began its transition to a bilingual organisation at the World Trade Centre Winnipeg in June 2014 and becoming a member of the Chambre de commerce francophone de Saint-Boniface was an important part of this initiative.

JCI Winnipeg participated actively in JA Manitoba’s mandate. JCI members formed a team of advisers that led a Company Program team through the 2014-2015 program and they will be repeating the experience in 2015-2016. JCI Winnipeg also supplies volunteers for in-class program deliveries throughout the year.

"We have to give lots of people choice.. we have to engage them. The most important thing is to get people who believe in the potential of our community all together, that's where we are going to learn the most" - Minister Kevin Chief, BOLD Winnipeg video
