The inaugural DJpreneurship Conference was held on December 5th, 2018 at Judith Nyman S.S.
High school students from various schools across the Greater Toronto Area took part and were surveyed prior to and after the conference. Our aim was to gather information based on their thoughts about entrepreneurship and if the DJpreneurship experience had any affect on their mindset. You can see for yourself, the data below.
Students were able to choose to participate in sessions of their choosing. While all other conference sessions were voluntary, “The Business” sessions were mandatory.
