RHINELANDER – Nicolet College has launched the second cohort of its “Start Your Own Business” course.
In a release, Nicolet said the eight-week, hands-on experience is designed to move aspiring entrepreneurs from idea to action.
Beginning Tuesday, March 31, participants will meet for eight consecutive Tuesday evenings from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Nicolet College in Rhinelander.
Registration is open at www.nicoletcollege.edu/workforce/professional-development-0. Nicolet said seats are limited to ensure personalized attention and meaningful mentorship connections. The course cost is $299.00, which includes the textbook and a voucher from the State of Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions waiving the $130.00 fee for registering an LLC.
Nicolet said the course is “ideal for aspiring entrepreneurs ready to move from idea to launch, early-stage business owners seeking structure and side hustlers looking to formalize and scale their vision.”
“This course provided me with the tools, mentorship and real-life insights to help provide a clear strategy and strong foundation for initiating a business plan,” said Wendy Gebauer, a student in the first cohort.
“This program is built around hands-on, relevant activities for participants,” Nicolet stated.
According to Nicolet, by the end of the eight weeks, participants leave with a launch-ready business plan; a clear startup roadmap and action plan; a completed SWOT and market analysis; a live pitch presentation to potential funders; weekly business journaling; and one-on-one mentorship from an experienced business leader
“This course is about building real businesses – not just talking about them,” said Ellen Mathein, Dean of the School of Business and Entrepreneurship. “Participants leave with clarity, confidence and a concrete plan to move forward.”
Mathein added that feedback from the first cohort was overwhelmingly positive, with many participants citing mentorship, structure and confidence-building as game-changing elements.
