Abstract

The Gigot Center for Entrepreneurship, supported by the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame, launched a Microventuring Certificate Program in the fall of 2006, designed to engage upper-level undergraduate business and nonbusiness students in the provision of technical assistance and other consulting services to low-income entrepreneurs. This article outlines the structure of the program, discusses the program’s successes and challenges in delivery to both the students and the microentrepreneurs, as well as makes recommendations for further study in order to realize the program’s mission—that is, poverty alleviation and self-reliance among disadvantaged entrepreneurs in domestic and international communities.
