Growing Rural Businesses Results in Entrepreneurial and Professional Growth
29 Dec 2016
Growing Rural Businesses is a course offered by Wichita State University and sponsored by NetWork Kansas designed to meet the needs of small town business owners who are ready to grow. This course is only offered a handful of times per year on a competitive basis. After hearing many great things, I decided to take the class. I was curious how different the course would be from my college business classes. What I got was a wonderful experience filled with many great lessons and real world applications about entrepreneurship from experts in each field.

The facilitators encouraged questions, which really engaged the audience and provided a more relaxed atmosphere. Group activities generated discussion and networking between the local entrepreneurs.
