SCTC is thrilled to announce the upcoming opening of three Small Business Entrepreneurship Centers (SBEC) located at the SCTC Flint River Campus, the Butts County Center, and the Henry County Center. Through the Small Business Entrepreneurship Centers, which are designed to nurture and support both established entrepreneurs and those just starting out, the College plans to provide a comprehensive range of resources and services dedicated to fostering entrepreneurial success.
Open to the public, each SBEC serves as a hub for business development, offering workshops, training programs, and personalized consulting to help entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of starting and growing a business. The facilities are equipped with modern resources and technology to facilitate learning and innovation. The centers also focus on creating a supportive community atmosphere where entrepreneurs can network, share experiences, and collaborate. By providing access to expert guidance, practical tools, and a collaborative environment, these centers aim to empower local business leaders and contribute to the economic vitality of the region.
SCTC President Dr. Irvin Clark said, “SCTC’s Small Business Entrepreneurship Centers have long been part of our plan to support workforce development and I am elated to finally see this vision come to life. Having a dedicated space that fosters creativity and offers the needed resources and guidance for our students, graduates, community, and aspiring entrepreneurs is a perfect compliment to our programs and curriculum. Whether you’re looking to launch a new venture or expand an existing one, the SCTC Small Business Entrepreneurship Centers are committed to helping you achieve your goals and thrive within your community.”
