A Report of the Minority Business Enterprise Project: A Partnership Program of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges and the Minority Business Development Agency.
Burks, Irma P.
The Minority Business Enterprise Project (MBEP) was established to provide business awareness activities for minority youth to introduce them to the possibility of business ownership as a career and to build the skills of current minority business owners to help ensure their success and continued development. During the 2-year span of the project, 20 member institutions received grants ranging from $10,500 to $12,500 to implement project activities. Although all projects met minimal required goals, the most successful projects were all characterized by creative and imaginative program leadership, institutional commitment, a broad-based advisory committee, and faculty involvement. The project report includes an overview of the history of the MBEP, an evaluation summary, and recommendations to improve the MBEP's chances for success during its next funding cycle. In addition, short descriptions of the MBEP activities of the 20 participating colleges are presented, followed by an annotated list of audiovisual and instructional resources for minority business development, including ordering information and prices.
