Entrepreneurship Certification Class

Students must attend an orientation session before beginning classes. For orientation and class information, please call 833.ASPIRE2 or visit aspiregreatercleveland.org.

This course covers the fundamentals of starting a business including developing your idea, conducting market research, obtaining a business license, implementing marketing concepts, bookkeeping, and more. There will be an exam at the end of the class that will provide you with a U.S. Entrepreneurship Certification credential, which can be helpful if you are planning to seek funding for your business idea in the form of grants and/or loans.

You may attend online (via Zoom) or in-person. Zoom links are provided upon completing the required orientation.
