Deadline to
apply is now July 31st.
Northeastern Junior College and
the El Pomar Foundation have once again teamed up to run a Course Work Grant and
Business Plan Competition in 2012. More money has been put into the program and
so additional businesses are being sought to participate. The Small Business
Development Center, a state-run program, is also involved in the coordination of
the competition.
To be eligible to participate,
you must be a resident of Northeastern Colorado and own an existing or startup
business in this local area. The participating businesses will be competing for
award money through the completion and presentation of a business
plan.
However, the basis for the
Business 2 College (B@C) program is education. If you apply and are selected to
participate, you will receive six free credits of college business training that
is related to business ownership and operation. Each entrepreneur chosen will
also be awarded an iPad and provided with Internet access during the duration of
the program. The participants get to keep the iPad once the competition is over.
The goal of the B2C program is to
strengthen business communities and develop business leaders. Following the
training and after some consultation from business experts, contestants will
complete and present a business plan during the final competition, judged by a
panel of professionals with various areas of expertise related to owning and
operating a business.
Applications for the competition
can be requested from Cyndi Vandenbark at 970-521-6763 or email:
B2C@njc.edu
The application is fairly simple.
It doesn’t require a great deal of time to complete. Applications must be
submitted by Tuesday, July 31st at 5 p.m.
