El Camino College Entrepreneurial Studies is here to equip, enable, and inspire our students from those starting with the spark of a new business idea to helping existing business owners grow their enterprise.

 

Our “Launch and Grow” initiative stems from a desire to help entrepreneurs realize their business ideas through action. The daunting task of getting started, not knowing where, or how to start putting ideas into action causes delays, inaction, and unrealized dreams. The “Launch and Grow” initiative aims to help entrepreneurs act and realize their dreams with events, seminars, and tools to get them started and develop.
