Create Your Own Business Pathway

With an uncertain economy it can be helpful if you can learn to chart your own way through the unknown and create your own business. Some of the greatest businesses in history were started during difficult financial times. This pathway will provide students with the skills to start their own business, and if followed through to the end, will result in them having a money-earning business that could be their future life career - even before they get out of high school. In addition, the skills learned during this pathway will prove beneficial if moving into any business field.
