Learn Through Doing
If you're pursuing a degree or certificate in business entrepreneurship, you'll need
to complete a practicum as part of your training. The practicum combines classroom
learning with on-the-job training to help you develop your managerial skills. You'll
need to work at least 20 hours per week in an approved position. Before you start,
you, your employer, and the business management coordinator will agree on a plan that
outlines what you'll learn and how you'll demonstrate your skills at work.
Forge Your Own Path

ideas into reality.
