| Description (ECIAD) | What financial practices do creative practitioners
need to know? This workshop is an entry point for
a practical understanding of the differences
between personal finances and business needs. It
will focus on developing projects, identifying
potential markets, and managing business expenses,
including invoicing and basic contracts. Students
will learn how to price their projects, factoring
in economic elements such as mandatory deductions
(e.g., Employment Insurance (EI), Canadian Pension
Plan (CPP), Sales Tax, Income Tax, etc.),
materials, Extended Medical Coverage, and more.
