This is a description of the Entrepreneur Coaching Leaning Network.

This resource or guide was put together to share what the Center has learned about E coaching for community success. This training guide is organized as a set of modules that can be used in whole or in part in your community. For a comprehensive approach to establishing an Entrepreneur Coaching Program in your community or region, we recommend going through the modules, start to finish, so that you have an understanding of both the context and the components of an effective coaching program. For communities that are more experienced with entrepreneurship development, jumping in to explore the components of entrepreneurship coaching may be a better training strategy. The RUPRI Center staff can provide guidance on identifying the best way to approach entrepreneur coaching in your community.
