Lone Star College System is now offering an Entrepreneurial Certificate Program to jumpstart people’s dreams of becoming business owners.
“Working for yourself can help to keep you in control of your career destiny and for many fulfill a lifelong dream,” said Sal Mira, LSCS Small Business Development Center director.
Beginning in September and offered by all LSCS campuses, this program provides the fundamentals of business ownership; legal issues; finance; and marketing taught by local professionals; lawyers, bankers, CPAs and business brokers; along with specialized one-on-one consulting with LSCS SBDC specialists.
“You'll also have an opportunity to meet local small business owners to further expand your understanding of real world business ownership issues,” added Mira.
Consisting of 40 hours – eight hours a week over five weeks – the Entrepreneurial Certificate Program is a prudent investment and is recommended for anyone thinking about starting or buying their own business. Classes begin next month at a campus near you. The schedule, including course descriptions, times and locations, is posted at http://www.lonestar.edu/sbdc.
