Academic Center for Entrepreneurship
“ACE is a resource center devoted to guiding the small and micro business owner toward their goal of running a successful and productive enterprise. It is equally devoted to creating an alliance between education and a healthy economy."
Bristol Community College has a program designed to help you develop a new business venture and improve your chances of success. The Academic Center for Entrepreneurship (ACE) at Bristol Community College is a resource center that works with students and community members to provide the special support and tools needed to start or sustain a small business or entrepreneurial venture.
In addition to the ACE resource center an Associates Degree in Entrepreneurship and a Certificate in Entrepreneurship is offered through BCC’s Division of Business and Information Management and the Center for Business and Industry at BCC offers non-credit courses for the entrepreneur. Please place in-line links to the degrees or program-I prefer the degrees if possible.
The Academic Center for Entrepreneurship sponsors on campus events including the 1st Annual Entrepreneurship Expo. This event is both an exposition of small business service providers and an award ceremony recognizing special entrepreneurs in the community. See the winners from the 2007 Entrepreneurship Expo.
Why entrepreneurship?
New generations of small business start-ups are vital to a healthy economic environment. Research from the Small Business Administration suggest that 99.7% of all employee firms are small businesses and that 60% to 80% of all new jobs annually are generated by small business. As ACE’s mission states we are devoted to creating an alliance between education and a healthy economy.
Resources offered by the Center:
We direct by connecting you with a mentor from your field and setting up meetings with small business experts.
We prepare you by offering incubation possibilities, training the trainers, offering business plan writing activities
We support you by allowing access to unique college resources such as presentation rooms, computer labs and software, etc.
We look forward to working with you and supporting you through your path to success!
