Testimonials

YEP helped put my business on the map. The follow-up from the CITD counselors is one of the forces that keep me moving forward.

Erica Calvert

The YEP business training helped me bridge the gap between what I learned in college, and how small businesses actually get started.

Ryan Poortinga

The YEP Program gives youth real world knowledge beyond what a textbook can offer them. YEP is a great liaison and a necessary support to encourage youth to think outside the box by creating awareness of the different possibilities of opening your own business versus working for one.

Jo-Ann Dilay

The YEP program thoroughly taught me how to write an effective business plan that identifies and details all the steps necessary to starting a small business. This knowledge is encouraging and gives me the confidence to pursue starting my own small business.

DeAngelo Williams

I really appreciate the amazing team that CITD YEP has and all of the help that you have to offer. You have helped me greatly with the start of my venture. I hope this program continues to grow and more entrepreneurs are aware of the help that is available to them.
