About the Everyday Entrepreneur Program

Everyday Entrepreneur Program

The world of entrepreneurship can be tough to navigate. With countless obstacles standing between student entrepreneurs and success, it’s often difficult to secure the capital needed to test a prototype, gain traction, or land that first customer.

That’s where NACCE’s Everyday Entrepreneur Program can help.

This rapidly growing initiative supports community colleges by providing the resources, curriculum, and funding to help students take their businesses from idea to thriving enterprise. With over 500 students served and more than $1 million in revenue generated, the program is making a tangible impact in communities across the country.

The multi-level framework is designed to meet both college and student needs. Whether you're launching an entrepreneurship program or expanding an existing one, your college can participate at the level that best fits your goals, staffing, and culture—and move between levels as needed over time.

When your college joins the program, directors receive:

A fully built Canvas course with ready-to-use instructional materials

A detailed toolkit with sample rubrics, templates, and guidance

A practical to-do list to streamline implementation

Monthly consortium calls with other colleges to share best practices, pitch competition experiences, and NACCE updates

And countless other benefits, including access to a national network of entrepreneurial leaders, shared success stories, opportunities to collaborate on innovative projects, and ways to continue supporting your student entrepreneurs

“NACCE Everyday Entrepreneur has been an amazing partner! I really appreciate the work that you all are doing. I value our collaborations so much!”
— Jack Dugan, Small Business Center Director, Beaufort County Community College
