The business program at Red Rocks Community College is really geared toward
providing practical experiences for students
so they take the theory that they're learning in the classroom
and they learn and understand how it actually works in the real business world
Connecting students with the business community is a primary focus of our curriculum in the business area
at Red Rocks Community College
and one of the ways that we've been able to accomplish that is through the mentoring program
that is part of our entrepreneurship courses
Students are paired with business leaders and business owners from the community
and they work with them throughout the course
to develop their business ideas, to network, to solve entrepreneur and business type problems
and to really find resources that they can use to run and manage their businesses in the future
When I came here to Red Rocks
I had found out there was an entrepreneur class and by taking this class
it had opened a lot of doors for me
it wasn't just sitting in the classroom anymore
It was they took us to the Chamber of Commerce, they got us mentors and allowed us to sit down and ask real business people real questions
The fun part of being a mentor is to sit down and listen to these young students
and sharing with them some of the ideas that I have
listening to some of the issues and concerns that they have
