Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, and Non-Profits
Entrepreneurship Education at CCBC
In 2005, the Board of Trustees and President of CCBC identified promoting entrepreneurship education as a long-term priority and an essential part of enhancing economic development and revitalizing a community in transition. Since that time, a One-Year Entrepreneurship Certificate (24 credits), an Associate Degree in Entrepreneurship, and 12 non-credit courses for small business owners and entrepreneurs were developed and offered to adult members of the community. Since 2008, the College expanded its efforts and partnered with community organizations and area business owners to enhance entrepreneurship education opportunities for low income youth (ages 11 to 18) within Beaver County and to develop a pathway to post-secondary opportunities.
