The IBE program offers a hands-on approach to training our future business leaders and entrepreneurs. Students from all
areas of study will participate in a year-long business experience where they will create a business from the ground up.
Local business and community leaders and college instructors guide student teams through the process of starting and launching
a business. Students will master academic material by producing deliverables in an authentic business environment created on
the SCC campus.
Our classroom will be representative of a corporate office, newly renovated to provide students with a unique learning atmosphere
of the boardroom, with industry standard equipment and technologically enhanced office/classroom space.
25 students were accepted into the Avista Center for Entrepreneurship at SCC for the 2007-2008 academic year through an application
