The Department of Business (DOB), in collaboration with the Guelph-Wellington Business Enterprise Centre (GWBEC), is pleased to provide up to 20 students interested in developing and running a new business with the opportunity to participate in a series of modules, run by the GWBEC at their downtown location, leading to the development of a business plan. During the winter, students will have access to advisors and resources of the GWBEC and the opportunity to work alongside others from the local community interested in starting their own businesses, while being  supervised by a University of Guelph Faculty member.

2. Students successfully completing Entrepreneurship I are eligible to apply for Entrepreneurship II. Students in this course launch their business in the spring semester, with the support of a GWBEC advisor and a University of Guelph faculty member.
