"Stepping Up to New Opportunities"
This is our signature entrepreneur series! It is of great benefit to individuals exploring opportunities in entrepreneurship, as well as those already in business who need to reboot or launch their business.
We've assembled a dedicated bastion of business leaders, CEO's, attorneys and accountants who voluntarily serve as presenters, many of whom are alumni and successful entrepreneurs themselves. Their professional expertise, proven leadership, understanding of our program's mission and desire to "give back" provides a winning combination and ensures a strong support group for the budding entrepreneurs in the program.
Program Objectives:
Each topic is designed to build on the previous one to be sure you have a good understanding of how to overcome the obstacles and barriers confronted by small business.
Affordable day and night schedules are offered and tuition scholarships are available. Those participants completing our award winning series will receive a Certificate of Completion.
"Annual Recognition Event"
The Annual Recognition Event, held in late spring each year, recognizes and celebrates the accomplishments of past and present graduates of our Stepping Up to New Opportunities series.
Along with recognizing the accomplishments of program participants, awards are presented to community and program leaders. This year, the awards were presented for (listed in order of achievement, highest award first).

Mentor Advantage
Our program has always had mentors interacting with our entrepreneurs. However, this year we officially launched the Mentor Advantage Series. Our mentors are business people who demonstrate strong leadership and business ethics. This entrepreneur mentor certificate is for consultants and counselors. We are proud not only of building communities of entrepreneurs but also mentors.
Partnership with UWGB Business Writing Class
E-Hub entrepreneurs partner annually with students in a Business Writing class. The project gives students a hands-on experience while providing the businesses with an opportunity to "give back" in the community. The students in turn help with business executive summaries and press releases. Special thanks to Larry Desch, UWGB instructor and Editor of The Business News.
