Center for Entrepreneurship
As one of the eight partners in the Business Assistance Center, NWTC’s Center for Entrepreneurship offers an array of services and resources to new and existing businesses aspiring to grow and enhance their success.
The Center for Entrepreneurship services includes the following:
- A unique one-on-one entrepreneurial readiness assessment that helps entrepreneurs determine their strengths and their deficiencies, and outlines remedial training designed to reduce the risk of entrepreneurship.

These classes all use the highest quality curricula, are condensed to save you time, and delivered by top notch trainers at time that serve your busy schedule best, all at affordable prices.
The Center for Entrepreneurship also houses the Targeted Business Development Program which is specifically designed for minority and woman-owned businesses who are currently operational, or those who will launch soon, who are involved in the areas of construction/renovation and professional services.
