NC IDEA ENGAGE supported Cleveland Community College’s membership in the Community College Rural Entrepreneurship Alliance (CCREA). This alliance is targeted to impact the community that Cleveland Community College (CCC) serves. The program will help reach individuals who are interested in starting a business in the region but aren’t certain where to start and likely don’t know what help is available to them. The program is designed to bring awareness of the support in the entrepreneurial ecosystem as well as continue to grow the strength of the ecosystem through awareness and engagement.
