Youth Program

The Young Entrepreneurs Program is a component of Partners With Youth, which is a Provincial program operated by the Departments of Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives, Education, Citizenship and Youth and Competitiveness, Training and Trade. The program encourages Manitoba's young people to start their own full-time businesses and pursue self-employment as a career choice. Applications are accepted on a year-round basis from youth aged 18 to 29 years.  Under the Young Entrepreneurs program, approved applicants are eligible for a grant of up to $4000 to help defray business start-up cost and capital expenditures.

All youth interested in applying to the program must submit the following before an application can be assessed and reviewed for grant consideration:

  • a completed program application
  • a comprehensive business plan
