The new Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation (EBI) Certificate is a distinctive program MITT has developed in partnership with the Manitoba Tourism Education College (MTEC). MTEC delivers 10 months of occupational-specific, career development and technical courses in a classroom location in MTEC’s facility (Unit 3 – 75 Scurfield Blvd). Upon successful completion, students will receive the MITT credential. At the end of the program, MTEC will connect students with their numerous employer contacts for an unpaid work practicum.
Upon graduation, students will receive an MITT certificate and will be equipped with the transferable skills required for business innovation and entrepreneurship employment in multiple sectors. Students will also have the opportunity to receive the industry-recognized certificate Manitoba Service Excellence.
This program, held at MTEC’s facility, also includes:
- 4 hours of class time per day (Monday to Friday) for non-work practicum courses
- Industry experienced instructors
- Free parking
- Complimentary coffee, tea, water (daily basis)
All documentation will be provided by MITT to eligible applicants/students.

Textbooks

Qualifying students apply skills learned in the classroom and develop new skills during a mandatory full-time, four-week work practicum with a local business/employer arranged by the Manitoba Tourism Education College. As per IRCC, students must have a co-op work permit to be eligible for the work practicum. It is the student’s responsibility to apply for the co-op work permit at least four months before the practicum begins.
Work practicum is a mandatory component of this program. Students must meet all program eligibility criteria to qualify for practicum. MITT does not guarantee practicum placements when students do not meet eligibility criteria (including having a valid co-op work permit) or when sufficient placements are not available. In such situations, MITT will explore alternative options for program completion with a student.
Policy information
Applicants and students of the Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation program will be subject to MITT’s admissions, academic, financial, and withdrawal policies throughout the application process and duration of the program. Students will also be responsible for adhering to MTEC’s academic policies, such as attendance, academic integrity, safety and appropriate conduct as outlined by MTEC on the first day of the program.
Continuous Program Improvement
MITT continuously reviews and improves programs to maintain relevance in the workplace and effective learning experiences for all students. Although the institution strives to have the website reflect the most current version of all programs, MITT reserves the right to change the program curriculum as necessary to meet industry and accreditation requirements. As a result, course information and learning outcomes may be adjusted prior to the scheduled course start date.
