Business Incubator and Strategic Planning for the Center for Excellence in Tribal Entrepreneurial Education

Salish Kootenai College (SKC) will develop a business incubator program to support AIANNH small business ownership. The project will support the development of a robust business incubator using the education skills gained by the students in the entrepreneurship classes.

In the area of Innovation and Entrepreneurship the project will develop a comprehensive start up package for all types of new businesses. The project will create and assemble the curriculum and necessary materials in one manual including HR documents, benefit packages, marketing and sales templates, and will assist with business licensing and insurance reviews. The project will demonstrate the effectiveness of locating a business incubator on a TCU campus and network with TCUs to implement the incubator program in other locations.
