Prince’s Operation Entrepreneur (POE) is a national program that provides transitioning Canadian military personnel and veterans with the education, tools and resources needed to open their own businesses.

It was established in 2012 to meet a previously unmet need of national entrepreneurial supports specifically tailored to the Canadian Armed Forces.

POE’s signature element is a seven-day intensive business boot camp, held on four university campuses across Canada. Participants learn best practices in marketing, finance and business planning from university faculty and get the opportunity to grow their business network and confidence.

The program helps ease the transition into second careers and civilian life and fills a much needed void in the employment landscape of transitioning military members.

Seven-Day Boot Camps

The seven-day intensive business boot camps are designed to help transitioning Canadian Armed Forces members, who already have a business idea, rapidly advance their entrepreneurial and business skills and knowledge.  Topics covered range from business planning to accounting and marketing.  Learn more

Mentoring

POE is proud to be rolling out a new mentoring program that will hand-match graduates of the boot camps and other veteran entrepreneurs with mentors who are successful entrepreneurs or established business professionals. Learn more about becoming a mentor or mentee.
