business & entrepreneurship services

​Jamestown Community College, Olean Business Development Corporation, St. Bonaventure University, and Southern Tier West will focus on Business and Entrepreneurship. This Academy is different from the others in that youth that focus on this academy can have overlapping interests and specialize in one of the other three industries. The focus of this academy will be to show students the versatility of business and inspire students to understand that you can create your own business to suit the needs and gaps within your community no matter the field or industry. This academy will teach youth that in order to be successful the principles of business will be a primary focus. Students in this academy will meet with industry leaders and educators. They will learn what makes a business successful, how to get started, and meet local small business owners.

All meetings will be held at Connecting Communities in Action, 2 floor in Salamanca, NY unless otherwise noted.
