The Nevada Small Business Development Center (NSBDC) adopted the NxLeveL Entrepreneurship curriculum as its cornerstone training program based on the need and success of this course, not only locally, but internationally. NxLeveL is an international program, available in 48 states and 9 countries. Citibank West recognizes the importance of entrepreneurial education in Nevada and subsidizes the program with $25,000 annually. Nevada's course fee is significantly lower because of this funding.

NxLeveL for Entrepreneurs is a 12-topic course running over 13 weeks (42-hours) designed for entrepreneurs who want to expand an existing business and need the skills to make it grow. Participants develop a comprehensive business plan during the course to act as the road map for future growth. People starting a business are encouraged to take the course as well!

In addition to the business plan and entrepreneurial course curriculum, NxLeveL provides a unique and uncommon networking opportunity into the business community. Participants in this course share ideas, best and worst practices, and become advisors to each other. The confidential and safe atmosphere allows a true bonding among business owners.

Each week the instructor will invite guest speakers to share their expertise in specific areas of business operations. The Q & A time with these experts is an invaluable opportunity for you to get answers to your unique business questions.
