“Post-grad is an incredibly scary and confusing time that we don't talk enough about. No one knows what they are doing, people move to cities where they have no friends, jobs are a very different environment than school. The unknowns are terrifying! VFC provides a community to not just move through this period gracefully, but thrive. Beyond the impacts on the fellows themselves, VFCs commitment to building up the Canadian entrepreneurial ecosystem is an incredibly important mission that will benefit all Canadians across the country.”
