The Mindframe Connect initiative will be offered at no cost and has two program streams, one for mentors and the other for entrepreneurs. It was co-created by Dalhousie University, Ryerson University, Globalive, I-INC, and Davis Pier. Both Dalhousie University and Davis Pier are based in Halifax. (The Logic)
Talking point: The initiative is funded through a 2.5-year funding agreement with the Future Skills Centre, a skills-development hub backed by the federal government’s Future Skills Program. Globalive is an investment company whose managing partner, Brice Scheshuk, co-founded Wind Mobile, now called Freedom Mobile and owned by Shaw. MindFrame was developed “in response to our team’s own journey as mentors and entrepreneurs,” Scheshuk said in a release. “There’s lots of support in the ecosystem for developing venture-building skills, but nothing that helps entrepreneurs harness adversity into high-performance.”
