“Starting a small business; who hasn’t dreamed of this? In following the
course offered at the NOVA Career Centre, I learned what is required to
make the dream a reality. All the proper steps to take to build confidence,
to clarify the dream and to head down a path of success. Among the many
valuable lessons learned at NOVA – developing entrepreneurial skills,
creating a detailed business plan, using computer tools to aid in running a
small business, and marketing techniques. Now I am ready to implement
the dream!”
