🚀 West Central MN CEO Students Leading the Way at the 5th Annual SMSU Entrepreneurship Conference!

The energy was electric as our West Central MN CEO students represented our program at the 5th Annual Student Entrepreneurship Conference hosted by Southwest Minnesota State University.

This wasn’t just another conference — it was a real-world learning lab.

Our students connected with entrepreneurs, asked bold questions, and gained insight into what it truly takes to turn ideas into opportunity. Events like this reinforce what the CEO (Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities) program is all about: experiential learning, business ownership, and building confidence through action.

We were proud to collaborate alongside fellow CEO programs:
• Lyon and Murray County CEO
• Cottonwood Jackson CEO
• Southwest MN CEO
• Minnesota River Valley CEO
• West Central MN CEO
• 59 Corridor CEO

A huge thank you to the partners who invest in opportunities like this for our students:
👏 SWWC Service Cooperative
👏 LYFT Career Pathways at SWWC
👏 Southwest Initiative Foundation
👏 Southwest Minnesota Small Business Development Center

When West Central CEO students step into rooms like this, they don’t just attend — they engage, lead, and grow.

We’re not just teaching entrepreneurship.
We’re building the next generation of business leaders right here in West Central Minnesota.
