TYLER JACKSON: Hi, I'm Tyler Jackson,
and I'm in the business administration program.
I think business administration and structuring your business
properly is the core of any business.
So I think that there's a plethora of jobs out there
that would be available if you get down the core disciplines
of business administration.
I'm a local business owner, and I
started enrolling in this program
to get help and support and guidance
through the professional and business administration aspects
involved in owning a business.
It's helped me greatly by helping structure
and build a foundation for my business,
as well as the support from the counselors and the teachers
here.
CLAUDETTE SHATTO: So in the classroom,
the students are learning about ethics.
They're learning oral and written communications.
They're learning computer skills, principles
of management, finances.
It's really the broad spectrum in our classes.
What I really like about teaching here
is that we have a great staff of adjunct instructors
that are actually bringing their real-world applications
into the classroom.
Deciding to pursue a degree at a community college
takes a lot of work.
It definitely takes determination,
but it's absolutely worth it.
In the end, after two years, you will have the skills necessary,
and you will be employable.
TYLER JACKSON: I think you certainly
have to have, a passion for being an entrepreneur
and being a leader in your own right.
You have to have a passion for whatever industry
you're trying to work into.
Once you discover what that passion is,
I think the rest falls into place.
