Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization partners with Amazon to design the new Amazon Small Business AcademyTAMPA, Fla., March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization (CEO) is proud to have partnered with Amazon to design new curriculum for Amazon Small Business Academy (ASBA). ASBA provides a suite of free, interactive resources and tools for small business owners and entrepreneurs to help start, build, launch, and scale their businesses online. The new ASBA experience features three self-service educational tracks – "Start," "Build" and "Launch". The tracks address both the tactical fundamentals, as well as the skills, that small business owners need to build self-reliance, confidence and perseverance. The program is free, open to any small business owner or entrepreneur and can be accessed at smallbusiness.amazon. Nearly 60% of products sold in Amazon's store come from selling partners—most of which are small and medium-sized businesses—and Amazon will continue to invest in resources to give entrepreneurs and small business owners access to guidance and information to help them succeed. CEO's council of academic experts informed ASBA on topics along with curriculum outlines and learning objectives. CEO is also providing a bench of experts (professors and small business owners in residence) who are serving as guest speialists in live weekly "office hours" as a supplement to educational webinars and on demand learning. Giles Hertz, J.D., CEO president, said that CEO has a 40-year history of serving the needs of small business owners and entrepreneurs, through the scores of members who have launched businesses or partnerships much like this. However, "never has a curriculum been created that is so accessible and accommodating for any stage of startup to learn how to scale and grow their venture," Hertz said. "Small business owners who take advantage of this academy can use these tools to think more entrepreneurial, and that directly services the mission of CEO." Meet the CEO faculty experts:
The Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization (CEO), is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit corporation whose mission is to "inform, support and inspire college students to be entrepreneurial and to seek opportunity through enterprise creation." From its inception in 1984, the organization has grown to approximately 16,500 members, representing nearly 250 college- and university-based chapters.
