Energizing Entrepreneurship workshops are designed for teams of community leaders to develop local plans and projects for using entrepreneurship as an economic development strategy. E2 workshops and materials provide an understanding of entrepreneurs at various stages, what they need, and proven approaches to build a strong entrepreneurial climate. E2 Express is a one-day intensive version of the most action-oriented material from the full 3-day Energizing Entrepreneurship (E2) course.
The N.C. Rural Center's Institute for Rural Entrepreneurship has partnered with the national RUPRI Center for Rural Entrepreneurship to offer Energizing Entrepreneurship or E-squared (E2) workshops to nearly 300 people in North Carolina.
There will be an Entrepreneurship Express workshop on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at the Pilot Center, Surry Community College, 612 East Main Street in Pilot Mountain, NC from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The tuition cost to participants is just $40 including light breakfast, a full lunch and the E2 book. The optional networking dinner is an additional $10. The Rural Center is subsidizing some of the costs of the training from a grant. Scholarships are available on a competitive basis by application.
