  2. EIDMC Entrepreneurship Institute for the Development of Minority Communities

  3. EDIMC • The Entrepreneurship Institute for the Development of Minority Communities was established by the Faculty of Commerce and Administration in 1994, to respond more effectively to the needs of minority communities.

The Idea • The significant involvement of faculty members in community organizations that facilitate their understanding of the issues and problems members of minority communities face in business and in their daily lives • The available resources and commitment within the faculty to solve these problems.

  16. Programming Philosophy • In our programming, we strive to put the needs of the clients first. Our delivery style has to be, and is, very culture specific and sensitive to the motivational context of the communities concerned. Understandably, we are not dealing with mainstream education for life in the corporate fast track, our regular programs provide for those needs. We are dealing with community development as perceived and pursued by the client communities. Our intention is to provide managerial tools and training that will facilitate that development. There is a social purpose to what we do, in the sense that we seek to ensure that the social benefits of our initiatives far exceed the private costs of providing the service to these communities.

  17. Programming Philosophy • We have adopted a team approach to providing the training components of the program. Professors are encouraged to learn about the client communities and the particularities of their cultures and position in Quebec and the rest of Canada. They are required to work as a team in the collection and preparation of materials for the course manuals and in the presentation of the courses. Normally there are two professors in the classroom at any given time. This is the contractual arrangement for the Cree Training Programs.

  18. Programming Philosophy • The participants also provide valuable inputs for the development of the course material. They evaluate the delivery in the classroom as well as the degree of comfort or feeling of being in a welcoming environment. The impact of the courses on “how work is done” in the respective communities is assessed in post course discussions between the program and representatives of the client communities. Securing additional contracts depend on client satisfaction and need.

  19. Conclusion • The JMSB/Concordia recognizes its obligation and commitment to educate all peoples and Communities local and International, however, its responsibilities begin at home. Our Training programs with the Cree Nation represents an affirmation of this commitment and underscores the excellent relationship, mutual understanding and trust that developed between the Cree Nation and JMSB/Concordia. It also represents a test of our outreach efforts and the Cree Nation’s willingness to work with us to identify their needs and to find long-term solutions to address those needs.
