Canadian Practice Enterprise Network Information

The CPEN unites the 28 Practice Enterprises operating in Canada. A Practice Enterprise runs like a "real" business silhouetting a "real" firm's business procedures, products and services. The 28 Canadian Practice Enterprises do business with each other and with more than 7,000 PEs from more than 40 countries around the world. The participants of a pedagogical Practice Enterprise are administration and commerce students. The participants of an employability Practice Enterprise are job seekers with expertise in administration and commerce. By carrying out their duties just as they would in a real firm, under the supervision of qualified staff members, they can acquire concrete professional experience in a real office environment within an international trade context. Each Canadian Practice Enterprise is a non-profit organization managed by a promoter and guided by one or more sponsor firms.
