WUSC – World University Service of Canada – is a leading Canadian non-profit organization in international development, committed to providing education, economic opportunities and empowerment opportunities that improve the lives of millions of disadvantaged youth around the world. WUSC is currently seeking a business development services provider to support MSE applicants and eventual recipients of the DREEM Innovation Fund.
Displaced and Refugee youth Enabling Environment Mechanism (DREEM) project
Through the DREEM project (2020-2025), we engage national and local government representatives, academic institutions, private sector actors, refugee-led organizations, local and international NGOs, and refugee youth to share knowledge and identify opportunities to advance the inclusion of refugee youth in national, local, and institutional priorities. Our three pillars drive us to build change and advance the inclusion of refugees and displaced youth, especially young women, ineducation, employment and entrepreneurship. We believe that through this work and engaging diverse stakeholders from varied sectors and geographies,we will form new strategic partnerships, build momentum and mobilize to advance refugee and displaced youth inclusion.
One of the three pillars of the DREEM project is Strengthening Economic Opportunities for Refugees (SEOR), which will complement WUSC’s existing Learning through Education and Access to Employment Pathways (LEAP) project and provide refugee entrepreneurs with a grant that combines financing and BDS access to micro and small enterprises selected through a business innovation competition. Business development support will entail tailored mentorship and coaching, capacity building and market linkages to ensure that businesses have the right expertise and support to generate revenue and jobs.
