CEED PEI - Welcome

The Centre for Entrepreneurship Education and Development (CEED) is an innovation centre that assists governments, organizations and communities in helping people achieve their potential through entrepreneurship. We help build "local capacity for local solutions." Our mission is to nurture entrepreneurship in people by acting as a catalyst in the areas of Entrepreneurship Education, Research and Program Design, Professional Development and Community Entrepreneurship.

A Brief History about CEED…
CEED began in 1993 as an entrepreneurship project with a primary goal of developing a curriculum to introduce entrepreneurship to the public school system in Nova Scotia. It was a joint venture funded by the Nova Scotia Department of Education and the Canada/Nova Scotia COOPERATION Agreement on Economic Diversification. The Agreement was managed by Nova Scotia Economic Development and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. In December 1995, the project formally became known as CEED and expanded its focus to include youth outside of the public school system. CEED left the Nova Scotia government in July 2002 to become a not-for-profit entity.

Today, CEED is devoted to helping people discover and use entrepreneurship as a vehicle to become self-reliant. It has a broad mandate covering many areas of entrepreneurship, and has a vision of a vibrant, self-reliant entrepreneurial culture not only for Nova Scotia and all of Atlantic Canada, but worldwide.

CEED PEI:
In December 2003, a not for profit Corporation was formed on PEI to operate as CEED PEI with the same mandate, curriculum and programs as CEED in Nova Scotia.
