Introduction to Small Business Class

This course is designed to help students understand the basics of operating a small business. Students will write a business plan, research and design what it takes to start their own business. They will learn financial planning, marketing skills and gain knowledge of online sales. Students will also meet with small business owners from our community through field trips and guest speakers. In addition, learners will build customer service skills through operating the Hubbs book store.

Women Venture and Goodwill EasterSeals are partnering programs which will support students in their pursuit to small business ownership.
