BLACKSTONE VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, EDUCATION FOUNDATION
AND WORCESTER STATE COLLEGE ANNOUNCE
SECOND ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM
 

(Whitinsville, Mass.)  As a result of the significant interest shown in the first Blackstone Valley offering of the Worcester State Entrepreneurship Certificate Program, a second session will be offered beginning the evening of May 5th.

This session will cater to those who are in need of evening hours.

“We were just so overwhelmed with requests by students who wanted to attend,” stated Susan Gately, Executive Director of the Blackstone Valley Education Foundation, “that it was inevitable we add a second session.”

This program is open to the public and offers local residents the opportunity to enroll in a quality College Level Certificate program developed especially for entrepreneurs starting or running a small business.  In these changing times, many are looking for a career change or are struggling with the challenges of growing their existing business. Thanks to a supporting grant from the Mass Office of Small Business & Entrepreneurship, the Certification Program is offered to residents of the Blackstone Valley at a very affordable rate and offers 6 sessions, a total of 21 Hours of lecture, discussion, and practice. It is designed specifically to provide individual entrepreneurs the key fundamentals needed to assure success

“The Chamber was thrilled to receive this important grant which allowed us to bring a truly enriching program for the benefit small business owners to the Valley itself,” said Joe Deliso, former interim Director of the Chamber who led the effort to bring this program to the Valley. “Having the quality oversight of Worcester State College is of great benefit to all who participate,” he continued.

This second session is scheduled on Mondays and Wednesday from 6-9 PM beginning Monday, May 5th. A Certificate of Entrepreneurship from Worcester State College will be awarded to those completing the course
