Toronto students had the opportunity to meet with, and be inspired by, world-changing entrepreneurs and innovators at the "Inspire Connect Achieve", conference that took place at City Hall on Feburary 28th. The event featured illuminaries from around the world of black history and
heritage as part of the city's celebration of Black History Month.
"Inspire Connect Achieve is a celebration of black history and
heritage, with a focus on exposing youths to career opportunities they
may not have considered," explains Sylvia Searles, the brain behind the
event.
"It's about broadening horizons, making connections."
"The
goal is to connect each youth attendee with at least one black
professional, entrepreneur or skilled tradesperson who is committed to
meet with the youth for at least one half-hour in March to discuss
career aspirations."
