 The CEO Program, provided by the Midland Institute
for Entrepreneurship, is an accredited, year-long course designed to
get students out into their community and equip them with business
knowledge.
CEO is not held in the classroom. Instead, students meet each day in
local businesses where they learn about the inner workings of
companies and hear from community leaders.
Those who participate learn professional business concepts, are
paired with a mentor in the community, and, from start to finish,
set up their own, functioning business.
But it’s not just about starting a business. Students learn about
professionalism and essential life skills. They have the opportunity
to explore career opportunities and are encouraged to develop
relationships with community leaders.
Students of all skill sets and backgrounds have the
opportunity to be successful in this class, provided they are
hard-working, trustworthy, and willing to take on an exciting
challenge.
One student said of the program, “You’ll never get
this opportunity anywhere else. CEO isn’t just about running or
creating a business. You spend an hour and a half, 5 days a week,
gaining skills that will benefit you no matter what your career
path.”
