The NC REAL Mission is to develop entrepreneurial talent through action learning and to foster the creation of sustainable enterprises throughout North Carolina, with special emphasis on rural communities.
The NC REAL Vision for the people and communities of North Carolina is a healthy, vibrant economy in which small business and successful entrepreneurial activity plays a vital role, where people develop the skills they need for productive participation, and where all people with entrepreneurial interests and aspirations have access to high quality entrepreneurship education.
Since the REAL program began in 1985, over 10,000 entrepreneurs have received intensive training and more than 392 North Carolina high school, post-secondary, and community-based organization educators and administrators have participated in NC REAL's professional development seminars and week-long Institutes.
In addition, over 550 entrepreneurs, bankers, accountants, and other professionals have provided assistance to REAL Entrepreneurship participants and graduates through NC REAL's Community Support Teams. This reinforces NC REAL's community-driven model of fostering a culture of support within communities for entrepreneurship.
