Academy for Creating Enterprise

Teach Micro-Enterprise

The program at The Academy is based on micro-enterprise

education, or the teaching of business principles needed to

start small businesses. Students are necessity entrepreneurs

because they cannot find work in other areas. Small

businesses allow these students to become self-reliant and

provide for their families.
