Springfield, MA, August 29, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The National Association for Community College
Entrepreneurship (NACCE) & GrowthWheel to offer Entrepreneurial Toolbox Certification Training.

The National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE), the nation's leading
organization focused on promoting entrepreneurship through community colleges, has announced a
partnership with GrowthWheel, a visual and cloud-based toolbox for decision-making and action
planning for entrepreneurs, to provide a public Entrepreneurial Toolbox Certification Training. Through
the training, participants will learn how to use the GrowthWheel Toolbox and integrate it into an
entrepreneurship training program. The course is comprised of presentations, open discussions, case
studies, independent work, and group work activities.

We believe this partnership and specifically this training, will allow our members to advance their
entrepreneurship programs, said Rebecca Corbin, Ed.D., president & CEO of NACCE. NACCE is
proud to partner with GrowthWheel to help our members continue to improve and develop their
entrepreneurial teaching practices and courses.

GrowthWheel is a visual way of looking at areas of business that entrepreneurship educators already
teach and on which entrepreneurs are already working. For the instructor, the absolute flexibility of the
toolbox means that it can be fully adapted to an existing curriculum. Instructors can build a curriculum
entirely based on GrowthWheel or simply plug in and play some of the 20 GrowthWheel modules to an
existing course.

When we first designed and developed GrowthWheel in Copenhagen in 2005, it was used for training
programs, said GrowthWheel founder and CEO David Madi. Since then we have mainly focused on
getting the tool in the hands of 2,000 business advisors to use with real-life entrepreneurs. With this new
partnership, we are taking GrowthWheel back to its roots."

company.
