Entrepreneurship

The Entrepreneurship program consists of courses designed to develop strategic thinking and planning, professional selling, leadership, and project management. Students will be equipped with the necessary skillset and mindset to launch a business or manage an existing technical business. The curriculum is focused on real-world applications and skills.

Presented in a two-days-per-month format spread over a full school year, the Entrepreneurship program is an opportunity for students to extend their education, or for those who have already begun their careers--or even already started their own business--to learn skills that will help them succeed as sole proprietors or larger-scale enterprises.
