Welcome to the Center for Entrepreneurship
The Center for Entrepreneurship trains, mentors and supports business owners and entrepreneurs in the St. Joseph area and beyond. Whether your business is new, new to the area, or simply trying something new, we can help.
Community to Classroom Program
The Center for Entrepreneurship has helped connect businesses with students who need hands-on experience. Students work in teams to help businesses develop websites, marketing plans, social media strategies or market research. Student teams held initial meetings with their clients, researched needs and developed the necessary plans and content. Then, they presented their recommendations to the business owners.
“I enjoyed working with the students, my group was very invested in how to improve my business marketing. They gave me valuable insight on the best times to post to certain platforms and how frequently to push content out to your followers. They encouraged me to venture into the TikTok platform, which has already increased business. I would definitely recommend it to other small business owners.” – Trevor Moss, Walkoff Wood Bat Co.
