The Northern Hamilton County Chamber of Commerce (NHCCOC) has created an entrepreneurship program called BYOBoss.
“We have seen a growing interest in secondary and post-secondary students operating their own business, and our Chamber can help,” NHCCOC Board President Liz Nelson said.
The Chamber plans to offer an entrepreneur experience-based course to educate the participants on how to identify and develop opportunities; how to take them to market; and how to operationalize them. The course plans to teach the concepts of defining and taking meaningful, intentional action, and then adjust based on results.
The course will be taught over five weeks with meetings once a week.
The sessions are geared towards teams of two working together, as it usually takes more than one person to get a business going. Teams can be two peers, but also parent/young adult and mentor/mentee teams are expected. If you don’t have a partner, the Chamber can help with that, too.
During the course, participants will build a business plan for an idea the Chamber provides, and in parallel, follow the same process to build a business plan for an idea the participants identify.
Classes to be offered starting May 18, then again starting July 6. Sessions start at 7 p.m. and run for two to two-and-a-half hours. The cost for the course is $80 per team.
