Flora Macdonald Academy (FMA) students will get extra help getting running several online businesses, thanks to the new project called FMA Digital Entrepreneurs.

 

The FMA Digital Entrepreneurs, created by Mark Mason, Technology Coordinator at FMA, will provide students the training, support and the financial resources they need to operate several online businesses.

 

Based in the Flora Macdonald Academy computer lab, the facilities include a suite of eighteen computers with high-speed Internet access. Profits will be used to purchase new equipment for the lab.

 

Throughout the year, students will receive training that help them learn about the world of business and pick up some of the skills they will need to become successful online entrepreneurs, such as permission marketing, website promotion, building an online store, and flash presentations. 

 

We hope that in the years to come, we will be able to look back on a string of local companies that have started out as students’ ideas, had support from the FMA Digital Entrepreneurs and then gone on to establish themselves as successful enterprises.
