Program started at Cape Breton University debuts in Corner Brook in November

Indigenous high school students from Newfoundland and Labrador will be able to take part in a free program this fall aimed to expose them to university business courses, thanks to a partnership between Grenfell Campus and Cape Breton University.

Grenfell Campus begins its first iteration of the In.Business program in late November, a program that has run at CBU since 2011, with some students from Newfoundland and Labrador having in the past travelled to Cape Breton to participate.

“The reason it’s important for it to be here, in this province, is that the further away from the host university that students are, the less likely they are to participate,” said Kelly Anne Butler, the program’s manager at Grenfell Campus.
