Budding entrepreneurs at Central College are enrolling in the Start-Up Semester course this spring. It’s an innovative course with few lectures and textbook. Instead, students invest $100 of their own money in their own start-up.
Business Horizons, a program of the Iowa Association of Business and Industry (ABI) Foundation, is a hands-on, action-oriented experience for high school students who want to learn about what their future holds in the business world.
The fair, sponsored by StartUpIowa, will showcase local entrepreneurs in Marion Country. Both Central students and the general public will get the opportunity to see creativity and innovation in action.
As Director of the Martin Heerema Entrepreneurship Program, Steenhoek will teach entrepreneurship courses and work with students and faculty on innovative projects, among other responsibilities.
