To help small businesses and entrepreneurs become more agile as they face the challenges of COVID-19, the Schulich School of Business at York University established the COVID-19 Small Business Support Centre with the help of 100 Master’s and undergraduate students.
Through paid summer placements, these students were hired to help businesses across the GTA move their products, services and operations online by building on Toronto’s Digital Main Street and Google’s ShopHERE.
This one-of-a-kind opportunity is helping students build skills, use leading edge digital tools and access tech experts – all while helping small businesses and the economy during COVID-19.
