Community Futures Development Corporation of the North Cariboo is seeking proposals to provide training to Community Futures clients.
Training will provide information and skills development for prospective entrepreneurs, business owners and managers, not-for-profit managers, board members and employees.
CF will offer regular training in the following months:
Where it is necessary or appropriate, contractors may choose (in consultation with CF) to offer training outside of the regular training season.
Contractors may set the times for their specific workshops. Contractors are encouraged to consider the availability of their target markets. For example, owners and employees of larger organizations prefer attending workshops/seminars during work hours; self-employed individuals without staff support can only attend outside of working hours.
Training may be delivered in different formats depending on the topic - i.e.:
Workshops/seminars will be postponed or cancelled up to 24 hours before the planned time where registration fees are insufficient to cover Contractor fees.
Proposed contractors are required to complete an application and outline of their proposed workshop/seminar using a standard CF format.
It is important that CF (as much as possible) develop a consistent brand for training/workshops. This means that workshops/presentations should be consistent in price, format and quality. Accordingly, CF will:
CF Staff will administer a standard workshop/seminar assessment at the end of each session. Contractors will be provided with the results, including a comparison to other contractors. CF may, at its option discontinue the use of contractors where assessments are weak.
All workshops and seminars will be marketed by CF as follows:
Contractors are responsible for providing CF with written marketing materials and graphics/pictures using CF-supplied template.
Contractors are encouraged to use their own resources/networks to provide additional marketing efforts.
Contractor $125 per instructional hour
Bonus 50% of registration fees after 10 participants
There is not a contractor rate for Q&A Sessions. These sessions are offered free of charge.
For any questions, please contact Elizabeth, Business Training Coordinator, at 250-992-2322. Please email all completed applications to elizabeth@cfquesnel.com.
Applications will be reviewed as received on an ongoing basis. Community Futures staff will contact you for an interview to discuss your proposal on receipt of your application.

Possible Topics include:
Contractors are encouraged to consider a series of workshops in a specific topic area where appropriate.
