On September 26, the Small Business Center will begin the Agricultural Entrepreneurship Certificate program.
This is a seven-week program and CEU credits will be awarded upon completion of the program.
The Agricultural Entrepreneurship Certificate program is designed to strengthen the business knowledge of community farmers and new agricultural entrepreneurs to help develop, launch and manage a profitable agricultural business or farm.
This course will be held at HCC on Tuesday evenings from 6-9 p.m.
The cost of this program is $70, plus the cost of the workbook. Sponsorships for the program will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Nursing success
The School of Nursing had a 100 percent pass rate for the National Council Licensure Exam.
The NCLEX is the national board exam for all registered and practical nurses. The five-hour exam, which covers topics ranging from safety and infection control to reducing patient risks, is the last step before a student obtains their nursing license.
“I am proud of the nursing faculty who have worked hard to improve our nursing program and help our students to be successful,” said President Michael Elam. “We continue to strive to improve everywhere we can, and I am looking forward to the success of the next nursing class.”
The HCC School of Nursing prepares registered and practical nurses, as well as Certified Nurses Assistants for entry into the workforce.
For more information on the requirements, or to inquire about admission to the program, please contact Judy Yates, program director, at 252-536-7231.
