Co-ops 101 • October 29, 2014 • Webinar
Co-ops 101 is BCCA's introduction to co-operatives and the co-op movement. Designed to be relevant and interesting everyone from new co-operators, employees at co-ops and credit unions, or anyone interested in the co-op movement, it's an excellent way to learn more about co-ops.
Start co-operating.
Are you interested in starting a co-operative? Do you work for a co-op or a credit union and want to learn more about the co-op sector? Does the idea of co-operation interest you?
That's why we're here. Come and learn all about the co-op sector, co-operatives, how and why to start one, and how the BCCA can help you as you think of ways to build a co-operative economy.
Learn about co-op business basics.
Learn about the history of co-ops, different kinds of co-ops ranging from consumer co-ops to worker co-ops to nonprofit co-ops at this workshop.
Participants will also explore how to take their idea towards the development of a co-op, including:
- The co-op development path
- Assessing a business idea
- Feasibility and business planning
- The nuts and bolts of starting a co-op
- Support and assistance from the BCCA and the co-op sector
Access co-op development support.
If you are representing a group that is exploring co-operation as a business idea, taking a Co-ops 101 course allows your group to register with the BCCA as an "Emerging Co-op" and access ongoing BCCA support, including access to co-op development experts, ongoing advice, discounted training and education, and more.
Attend in-person or via teleconference.
Join other co-operative entrepreneurs in the BCCA's Vancouver offices to learn about co-ops and how to get yours started.
