Manitoba Government Department of Growth, Enterprise and Trade (GET)

Elijah Osei-Yeboah was hosted by the Manitoba government's Department of Growth, Enterprise and Trade (GET) and worked with the Strategy and Policy Branch in Winnipeg. Some of the work Elijah was involved with was developing a project to promote entrepreneurship in Northern Manitoba, examining revenue leakage in the North as part of the Manitoba Look North economic development strategy, and introducing 4-H (an international youth organization) programs for 4 First Nations in Manitoba.

"I am very happy with how the placement went. Aside from the pure economic development issues I learned about, I built great relationships and learned a lot about how the provincial government works. I am grateful to my supervisors at GET."
