Join MCDEVCO for the GEARS Certificate of Entrepreneurial Excellence program - a 22-hour, 12-week program that takes students from concept development, customer validation, marketing products/services, legal aspects of entrepreneurship, financial aspects including pandemics like COVID-19, and innovated management, to effective growth strategies. The certificate culminates in the students’ business plan presentations to our Dolphin Tank – a panel of six local professional business, financial, and municipal leaders. Dolphin Tank panelists provide essential and critical feedback to encourage the entrepreneurs’ growth and confidence.
