Everett Community College is offering an online certificate program for its students.

The college's 27-credit virtual assistant certificate will teach students how to become independent contractors who work remotely, offering skills and services online.

Lynne Munoz, director of the college's School of Business Design, said the program should be especially attractive to people who want or need to work from home.

The certificate program, which is itself offered online, will show students how to develop a business plan, determine what services to offer, market those services and launch the business.

The virtual assistant certification program will span two college quarters. Classes will start on September 24. If you're interested call Kathryn Willestoft at 425-388-9242 or go here.

These types of entrepreneurship programs are going to be very feasible and I hope that more schools, especially those with focus on business administration can offer these programs.
