I began the journey of self-employment because I was looking to create a community in which all bodies could embrace their true selves with the clothing they wear. My friend had mentioned how she was in the EYE program and I thought it would be a great way to build my entrepreneur skills – and this program has done that and more. I am now in the process of registering my small business, making a website, and learning how to effectively market my products. I am creating a made-to-measure line, and some beautiful fabric accessories which I am excited to share with the world. It is an exciting time to be in the fashion industry because a lot of people are searching for locally made apparel, and I am excited to be a part of that change.

Being part of this program made me feel more confidence to look for a job and to my personal life. Jason and Leslie were super nice, friendly, and they help you and care about your wellness all the time. The program provided the opportunity to get certificates that jobs may ask for. I am very grateful for having finished the program and I leave with good times, friends and many skills developed.

The Wild Craft Foods Program is one of the best programs I have been too. Having that healthy circle of others in the program really helped me want to grow my business idea. When I started I had no idea what I wanted to do or how to do it and now I am getting ready to be a full-time business owner. In addition to the program one of my favorite fieldtrips was making drums with Cynthia. Everything in this program was phenomenal!

I always had a dream to be self-employed and create a work environment that was nature and people based. The Wild Craft program has motivated and assisted me in making this dream tangible. I have built deep connections with all of the instructors and participants. The generosity of everyone I've met here is long-lasting. Along with focusing on wild food harvesting and business management, this course facilitates reconnection with Indigenous cultures and practices, this alone is why I would recommend this program to anyone regardless of their future plans. My gratitude for this experience is eternal.

I'm really enjoying the program and I'm learning a lot. I've tried lots of new interesting foods as well as learning how to do latte art. I'm currently being trained to cook and prepare food, as well as baking treats. Thanks so much!

The program is such a special opportunity for me and makes me very excited as my first year being an adult. I have enjoyed the first couple of weeks working with a local business called Little B's. I feel very welcome there, I've learned a lot while working with these new people, and I look forward to working with more businesses in the future!

My favorite part of the whole program was being able to use different assessments to get an idea what type of person I am in a workplace. Biggest takeaways are the resources and information that we have to find different jobs that we might be interested. I believe I accomplished being able to speak more confidently about what I am interested in and what I'm not interested in.

With a long gap in my employment I wasn’t sure what to do for an income. The Myst program gave the the skills and knowledge to get back into the workforce. I got to know myself really well, as well as fellow friends and classmates.

Through the Express to Success program I was able to gain a better understanding of myself and my passions. It became clearer to me the career path I want to take and I feel well equipped to take the next steps to pursuing that path and finding my place in the world. I would recommend the Express tp Success program to anyone who is unsure of what they want to do with their life. Learning about myself has made me more confident in what I can bring to the world.

Thanks you express to success! Thanks to you I'm going to be a real contributing member of society, helping people, saving lives and property, I feel like a real man after this program, going to make a difference. I cannot say enough good things about express to success, the best thing that could have happened to me when I was at rock bottom after losing my solid job.
