Join Lehigh Carbon Community College’s (LCCC) Business Enterprise Center (BEC) from September 13-16 as we partner with Lehigh Career and Technical Institute (LCTI) and celebrate the 2nd annual Entrepreneur Week. This year’s theme is “Building Businesses One Bright Idea at a Time”. The BEC is designed to help business students in developing their business plans and has a myriad of resources available to them, including the assistance of entrepreneurs/mentors available to coach students with the design and finance aspect of their projects.
The following presentations will take place in the College’s Alumni and Fowler Education Centers, main campus in Schnecksville. Speakers are from local small business owners as well as banks, insurance companies and the Small Business Association. Additional sessions are being planned.
Special guest and Keynote Speaker Paul J. DiGrigoli has been a successful entrepreneur in the cosmetology industry for nearly 3 decades and has personally experienced success and failure in the game of life. His seminars have been built from personal experience and accumulated wealth of business knowledge. DiGrigoli has been a salon owner and hairdresser for almost 30 years and currently operates a 12-chair salon in West Springfield, Massachusetts, as well as owning nationally-accredited DiGrigoli School of Cosmetology.
