Entrepreneurship Incubators

A key part of the College’s Entrepreneur Initiative is support of student businesses through business incubators. The college provides student incubators at the Kehoe Center in Shelby. The incubators provide students with quality office and work space as well as advisory services and grant funding.

Combined with the College’s entrepreneur curriculum and key linkages to the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and to Braintree Business Development Center, the business incubators enable student entrepreneurs to pursue their goals of launching their own businesses. Interested students should contact the Assistant Dean of Business, Industry and Technology at 419‐755‐4817.
