B*Y*O*Biz – Bring Your Own Business to College!
Is this fantastic or what?
Champlain College in Vermont actually allows you to bring the business to college with you! So if you are a young entrepreneur, you don’t have to choose between going to college and growing your business. At Champlain, students learn from successful entrepreneurs and other experts about the strategic, financial, legal, technical, operational and managerial matters you’ll need to know.
In addition to a network of entrepreneurial mentors, they even can put you in touch with angel investors and venture capitalists who can help you learn the ropes.
Janey Hair is one great example of the kind of student Champlain has enrolled. Janey founded Rosey Pink Cosmetics when she was fifteen. She handles many aspects of her business while still attending classes and living the life of a typical college freshman.
Other students have businesses selling t-shirts and sweatshirts with original designs, ice cream sales, urban style hoodies, ipod accessories, auctions, and web design. Even if you aren’t quite ready for college, check out this inspiring program! Champlain College just might be the place for you or your business savvy kid!
