From the Classroom to the Real World — 82 Entrepreneurs Strong!

During the 2024–2025 school year, West Central MN CEO students had the incredible opportunity to visit with 82 entrepreneurs — and every single interaction made a difference.

These face-to-face conversations are more than just meetings — they’re the fuel for ideas, the foundation for confidence, and the spark for future success. This is what makes the CEO Program stand out: students don’t just read about business — they live it.

By stepping into real businesses, hearing real stories, and asking real questions, students gain a deeper, practical understanding of what it takes to build something from the ground up. It’s education at its most powerful — rooted in experience, connection, and community.

Thank you to the entrepreneurs who opened your doors and shared your journeys. You’re shaping the next generation of leaders in ways a textbook never could.
