ENTREPRENEURSHIP COURSE
The ECCB Entrepreneurship Course was developed
as a guide for persons interested in understanding
the fundamentals of operating a successful small
business.
The objectives of the course are to inspire more
persons to consider entrepreneurship as a goal and
to promote best business practices among small
business owners.
The modules are specially designed to take
into consideration the principles of business
management in general and their practical
application in the OECS. This has led to the
distinctive feature of having case studies and other
hands-on learning activities that reflect the OECS
business landscape.
