As the economy of the region changes and shifts, so too must the training and educational resources we offer. Whether your business idea is a café, an accounting firm or a mobile welding service, this program will allow you to seize the many opportunities offered in this region.
In the comfort of your home community, you can take courses designed to help create a solid business plan. From start to finish, every learning module and assignment is relevant to your business and future plans.
This certificate program will provide you with the tools to:
* assess your entrepreneurial abilities
