SmallBizU
First in its kind, SmallBizU is an eLearning University dedicated to providing local entrepreneurs and small businesses with the real world tools and information they need to be successful.
SmallBizU was launched by National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s (NRECA) Community and Economic Development Unit to encourage small business development in local communities.
People in the area will have complete access to 25 core courses, each ranging about three hours long, at the SmallBizU Web site. SmallBizU focuses on delivering state-of-the-art small business education with courses featuring the 3M’s: Money, Marketing, and Management.
SmallBizU tells you how it's actually done in a small business not in a textbook. The creators of our courses have all honed their skills in the trenches of real small businesses.
