Supporting Agricultural Micro-Business and Student Entrepreneurship

Agricultural business management and technologies

As part of the college diploma program, students in Agricultural Business Management and Technologies must create a micro-business and ensure all of its operations, from production to marketing. Groups of students can count on the rigorous supervision of their teachers in carrying out the project. In addition, they can also count on the financial support of Desjardins. All the initiated projects are guided by important environmental values.
