Entrepreneurship Program Offered In Cherokee County
The Cherokee County E-Community is excited to offer the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program again this fall. This program allows participants to learn from successful real-world entrepreneurs and develop the skills to identify entrepreneurial opportunities and to transform an idea into a sustainable success. It is a good fit for business owners as well as aspiring entrepreneurs, students, and others interested in learning to approach problems as opportunities.
The 9-week course will be held on Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 8:30 pm starting September 12th and running through November 14th (no class on October 31st) and will be led by certified Ice House facilitator Janet Miller. Classes will take place at the Cherokee County Economic Development Corporation Office, 201 E. Pine, Columbus, KS.
Class sessions will include: discussion of eight life lessons that allow entrepreneurs to be successful; visits from local entrepreneurs; and the opportunity to explore your own ideas. In addition, each week there will be an average of 60 minutes of video content to watch on your own ahead of class.
The program cost is $100 for adult participants from Cherokee County, $75 for high school and college students from Cherokee County, and $150 for adults and students from outside the county. This cost includes all course materials as well as dinner at each session.
