Micro-businesses are student-run companies offering various products and services to the community while providing our students with “hands-on” opportunities to lead, develop career skills, and experience entrepreneurship. Students participating in micro-businesses start thinking like business owners, and they develop skills in problem solving, communication, time management, conflict resolution, and customer service.
