Algonquin College learners have once again demonstrated their entrepreneurial spirit by securing four prizes at the annual Cross- College Entrepreneurship Challenge. This marks the third consecutive year AC learners were awarded in the competition, sponsored by Riipen and RBC Future Launch.
The event brought together student teams from 11 colleges across Ontario to address challenges faced by Canadian businesses. Algonquin College stood out with the participation of three teams. Through their skills, creativity and classroom knowledge, AC learners collaborated with real-world clients to come up with innovative solutions for the challenges presented.
