The Starting Point

The STARTING POINT Professional Services is a registered Canadian general partnership in British Columbia founded in February 2017 by husband-and-wife team, Victoria and Justin Jaenig. Their passions in life and their love of learning combined with the consistent requests for knowledge sharing led Mr. and Mrs. Jaenig to form the STARTING POINT Professional Services. Together they deliver personal and professional development projects, events and planning services.

Originally based out of Kamloops, B.C., The STARTING POINT held events including the “Aboriginal Business Networking + Social” and “Friendly Encounters”. They hosted various Workshops and Presentations including: “Urban Gardening”, “Creating Social Media Stats Reports” & “Minimalistic Marketing Strategies” and facilitated community training opportunities through-out the BC Interior including “Learning to Live Independently”, “T.E.A.M. Building: Pre-Employment Training” and “Self Employment- Getting Started”.

After relocating to the South Okanagan in 2019 from the (B.C.) Central Interior, we were preparing to re-launch the STARTING POINT in the South Okanagan in March (of 2020), but the global pandemic halted those plans. The STARTING POINT Professional services is pleased to announce their official re-launch and will be announcing upcoming programs and opportunities.

With Victoria owning 60% of the company, as a registered member of the Penticton Indian Band and ancestral lineages in the syilx/ secwepemc/ colville communities The Starting Point Professional Services is an indigenous & female led business venture.
