Small Business - Entrepreneurship |
Many people who seek to maximize their independence and/or opportunities for creative expression try to start their own businesses. According to U.S. Small Business Administration, in 2006 there were approximately 26.8 million small businesses in the U.S. and approximately 649,700 new firms were created in that year.
New entrepreneurs quickly discover that their success requires a broad range of hands-on skills and ready access to current information. Indeed, the same SBA report noted that 564,000 firms were terminated during 2006.
HUCE offers the following courses to help prospective entrepreneurs master the required skills. It will also maintain pages on this Website containing some basic links to up-to-date references of particular value to entrepreneurs doing business online, especially women and minorities.
Our courses emphasize eBusiness because that's where the greatest opportunities lie. Some businesses are entirely online, but in the twenty-first century all businesses must be able to market their services, receive payments, and maintain satisfactory customer relationships via the Internet.
Note: The courses in this program are taught by HUCE's course development partners --
Gatlin Educational Services (Gatlin was recently acquired by ed2go); and Reed Educational Services (Reed was recently acquired by Idea Solutions)
