Free BusinessWeek Online Courses
April 19th, 2006 by Grant in: Business
I received an email from BusinessWeek advertising their online courses. I don’t like solicitations that ask me to shell out more money for something I probably don’t need.
But to my surprise, this is FREE! And free is good.
BusinessWeek is offering Start-Up Basics for the First-Time Entrepreneur as an online course taught by Yvonne Phelps.
Here are some of the highlights for the course:
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- Understand some basic prerequisites for start-up survival and success
- Assess whether you have what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur
- Learn how to find gaps in the market and take advantage of entrepreneurial opportunities
- Explore strategies for maximizing your investment of time, money, and energy
LESSONS
- Do You Have What It Takes to Beat the Odds?
- Identifying New Business Opportunities
- Prerequisites for Start-Up Survival
- Tips and Strategies for Entrepreneurial Success
It looks like this is a type of course that has lessons posted, and you can read them at your leisure.
The lessons will be posted between April 24th and May 26th, so you’ve got some time to get through the course.
If you subscribe to the print version of BusinessWeek, make sure you sign up for the online version (it’s free if you subscribe to the print version), as you’ll have access to previous columns, blogs, book reviews and intra-issue discussions.
Additional courses being offered deal with writing business plans, networking and marketing.
This might be worth looking into if you’ve got the itch to do something entrepreneurial!
