¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Beedie Protégé

¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Beedie Protégé is a personal and leadership development program for Beedie School of Business students who are looking to develop their leadership skills and professional competencies. No previous experience required, but a dedication to self-improvement and commitment is a must.

Protégé consists of 5 leadership workshops hosted in-person at the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Burnaby & Vancouver campus with asynchronous activities on Canvas. As a Protégé, you will engage in interactive, activity-based sessions covering a spectrum of topics ranging from self-awareness to confidence and presentation skills to help elevate your leadership journey. 

Protégés will leave the program with a greater understanding of themselves and others while gaining confidence and skills that will be useful throughout their undergraduate degree and beyond.

The ideal Protégé is an individual who is eager to learn, curious, asks questions, and is open to growing.
