Entrepreneurship: NxLeveL Program
 Small Business Development Center

The NxLeveL Training Program offers business owners the knowledge to succeed not only today but also into the future.  The program helps entrepreneurs develop the "blueprint" for their future.  It provides interaction with other business owners and connects participants with the experts and information they need.

What You Can Expect from the NxLeveL Program

The program addresses the special needs of small business owners by providing a practical, hands-on and common sense approach to successful business development. As a participant, you'll be immersed in every aspect of running your business, from concept to strategy, from record keeping to financing, from marketing to management. This course includes:

  • Training from an experienced business educator, with prominent local business professionals as guest speakers.
  • Networking opportunities with presenters and participants.
  • Comprehensive textbook, workbook and resource guide.
  • One-on-one business counseling and support.

You'll learn more than you thought possible and not just from the instructors. Like you, your classmates are determined to succeed. Together you will share insightful ideas and offer invaluable support for one another.

Course Highlights  

The NxLeveL program is designed for small businesses and focuses on the application of each of the operational areas within a business.  While basic theory will be explored, this 15-week program delves into the application and execution of a strategic business plan.

Each participant will revise their existing business plan or write a new plan using the valuable information gained from the class.  This "blueprint" will guide these businesses to their next level of performance.

What graduates are saying about the program

"Having a great product, service or just a great idea that one believes is marketable isn't all there is to creating a successful business. There are lots of great products that have never made it to market.Researching your competition and assessing realistically and honestly your product's potential and the means to get it there is what is required. NxLeveL teaches, step by step, the process of creating a business plan that answers those questions so the possibility of success is increased. The NxLeveL entrepreneurship class has been challenging and hard work but the return on my investment of time has been well worth the effort." Steve Clisset,President; Windstrips, Inc; Spring 2004 Graduate
