Launch Pad

Introducing Launch Pad from Community Futures

Community Futures participating offices are delighted to announce that after a year of development and the contributions from over 50 staff members, our online courses are ready for client sign-up!

Launch Pad has been developed by Community Futures staff for CF offices across Alberta. This suite of courses is created from the ‘bottom up’ with our clients in mind. That means every course within Launch Pad will be practical, approachable, putting small business owners at the forefront.

From north to south, every participating office now has access to the same high-quality product. This marks a huge step forward for Community Futures and will assist the lending program by developing more prepared clients.

This is a modern approach to delivering key CF services. Launch Pad will provide a consistent, high-quality learning experience for our clients.
