Testimonials from Our Members

SYPE is an organization that keeps it real. They cut the bullsh*t and focus on their core asset – its members. They achieve this by hosting unreal networking events and facilitate practical business education forums (not the boring stuff) – all while having a ton of fun. If you ask me, that’s legit.

Creating leadership capacity in today’s business world is the new competitive advantage. To do that well, you need to create opportunities for emerging leaders to find their voice and learn how they can add value to businesses and to those around them. SYPE creates those opportunities by bringing young people together to collaborate, connect and encourage each other and our community. We are very proud of the partnership we have with SYPE and the role they play in helping leaders learn, grow and inspire.

SYPE’s goal is to make Saskatchewan a better place for young professionals & entrepreneurs. We do this by helping to facilitate connection, providing support, and encouraging members to get involved in their community. It creates an exciting environment for the next generation of business leaders!
