Centers for Entrepreneurship

Monmouth CEThis continues our series on community programs designed to help you grow your business

Many community colleges and universities now offer centers for entrepreneurship. Many of the centers open their services to students and non-students. Some even extend their services through distance learning or computer-based venues allowing business owners who live too far away to attend classrooms. Some of the programs receive national rankings from the Princeton Review.

Services Offered by Centers for Entrepreneurship

Typically, entrepreneurship centers offer the following services:

  • Courses, workshops, seminars, and conferences
  • Access to grants, angel investors, microfinance and other funding programs
  • Incubators, JumpStart programs,
  • Forums, panel discussions, and lecture series
  • Blogs, articles, libraries, and training tools

You can find the nearest center for entrepreneurship by calling a college or university close to home. You can also Google “Center for Entrepreneurship”. Several variations on the phrase will appear. Adding your city or state to the search phrase will help you narrow your search.

Thursday we will finish our series on programs to help you grow your business
