The Learning and Enrichment Foundation (LEF), A community center in
York South-Weston is helping Toronto immigrants with the
entrepreneurial spirit to start up their own businesses. As reported by
Inside Toronto, LEF offers education, training and support to community members hoping to become self-employed.
"Located in the York South-Weston community, the LEF is a community
centre that offers a variety of educational programs free to the
surrounding community. Last Friday, The LEF held a graduation party for
13 residents, including Rico, who took part in an intensive four-month
entrepreneurship program."
"The goal of the program is to teach people everything they need to
know to be self-employed. Students are taught the basics of business
practices, but they also learn how to find financing, how to market
their products, and maybe most importantly, they are given confidence
in their ability to be successful."
