Whether you’re currently operating a start-up, or looking to get your business up and running, learn the strategies you need to take your business to the next level in the Entrepreneurship Certificate program at Moraine Park Technical College.
About the Program
Being an entrepreneur takes courage and creativity. It takes a commitment to learning, the courage to try new things, permission to fail, and the determination to get back up and brush yourself off when you do. But behind it all, it simply requires the passion to keep you moving forward and to achieve your dreams.
The Entrepreneurship Certificate at MPTC is designed to help entrepreneurs reach their goals, whether big or small, by exploring all aspects of small business start-up and operation.
What You’ll Learn
Spread out over two semesters, the entrepreneurship coursework provides new and existing entrepreneurs hands-on training in business planning, financing, marketing, customer service, financial management and business communications.
