School-based Enterprises

This class will be 4 two-hour sessions held on Zoom.  You must attend all 4 sessions to complete this class.

An effective school-based enterprise (SBE) provides students with the unique opportunity to develop and practice real-world industry experience while serving the needs of their campus and/or community! This course is designed to help participants successfully develop and manage a successful SBE.

Participants will analyze the key components of SBEs and identify the differences between this model and other forms of work-based learning.  Participants will also identify the key elements necessary for planning and implementing a school-based enterprise including best practices and record keeping requirements. Throughout this course participants will develop a business plan for their proposed enterprise.
