Since 1990, Kevan Bracewell has overcome many obstacles and continued to expand the offerings at Chilcotin Holidays. Through the resources and opportunities that his primary business provides, Kevan has launched additional companies for himself and other motivated entrepreneurs. And now, Kevan Bracewell is sharing his hard-won knowledge and entrepreneurial experience through his new course, Entrepreneurship Training in Wilderness Tourism.<\/p>\n<p>In this results-oriented program, Kevan Bracewell trains individuals from all walks of life to create their own job and be their own boss by focusing on their interests, goals, and purpose. As they train in the real-world entrepreneurial incubator of Chilcotin Holidays, participants gain practical skills, problem-solving abilities, and genuine confidence. Graduates of this program often go on to create a succession of jobs for themselves, along with jobs for others, as they discover different niches in the world of business that allow them to pursue their interests.<\/p>\n<p>Because the Entrepreneurship Training program takes place at Chilcotin Holidays, participants have the unique opportunity to build their skills and gain real-world entrepreneurial experience in fifteen distinct programs and profit centres. Students learn how to effectively manage a business as they take on the challenge of running one of the fifteen micro-businesses at Chilcotin Holidays. This is not a job; it\u2019s an accelerated approach to developing the specific skill sets and mentality that entrepreneurs need. Unlike traditional jobs and learning programs, participants do not take direction from someone \u201chigher up.\u201d Kevan Bracewell has structured the Entrepreneurial Training program to expose students to the responsibilities and challenges that come with directing the course of a company- something that a standard job or course cannot provide. By harnessing the available resources at Chilcotin Holidays, Kevan Bracewell empowers students to take on new challenges and experience both great success and great failure. This learning format provides an optimal environment for participants to build their skills like true entrepreneurs do: through trial and error.<\/p>\n<p>For participants of this program, however, every risk they take is mitigated by tested, well-established procedures and the safety net that the larger wilderness tourism company provides. The procedures for business operations at Chilcotin Holidays have been tested and refined over the past twenty-five years. These procedures are in place to help students avoid common entrepreneurial pitfalls, not to prevent failure entirely. In this training program, it is the students\u2019 job to fail and use that failure to spur themselves on to greater success. It\u2019s the job of Chilcotin Holidays to provide a support network that prevents irreparable failure. And while participants in the Entrepreneurial Training program do have a great amount of freedom to run their portion of the company as a true entrepreneur would, they are not expected to do the job alone. Throughout the hands-on training, students have the mentorship of Kevan Bracewell, an experienced entrepreneur, to help guide their business decisions, assess potential opportunities, and evaluate failures.<\/p>\n<p>Graduates of Entrepreneurial Training in Wilderness Tourism experience success in their business endeavors not because of their increased knowledge or their new business skills. Graduates go on to be successful because they have the focus to chart a clear course to their goals, and the confidence to overcome each new challenge. And that is the ultimate goal for Kevan Bracewell as he invests in each new student. Through the Entrepreneurial Training program, Kevan Bracewell aims to impart more than business knowledge; he strives to teach students how to <em>think<\/em> like an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Ready to train your brain and learn how to <em>think<\/em> like an entrepreneur?
