Entrepreneurship and Small Business: Learn the Skills to Launch and Lead Your Venture
Entrepreneurship and Small Business are more than just starting something new; they’re about creating value, solving problems, and building something of your own. Whether you dream of opening a local shop, launching an online brand, or simply learning how to run a business, mastering these skills can turn your ideas into action.
U.S. Department of the Treasury reports that small businesses have created over 70 percent of the new jobs since 2019. Small businesses created 64 percent of net new jobs in the previous business cycle.
If you’re fresh out of high school or working in a job that no longer fulfills you, this is your chance. With the right skills and guidance, anyone can become an entrepreneur—even if you’ve never owned a business.
What Is Entrepreneurship and Small Business?
Entrepreneurship and Small Business training teaches you how to create, grow, and manage your business. It’s designed for people who want to start a startup, manage a side hustle, or learn the entrepreneurial mindset for success in any field.
This type of training focuses on essential topics such as:
You don’t need a business background to start. You need the drive to learn and the willingness to put your skills to work.
