7.1 Continuing education offerings in sustainability
Narrative and/or website URL providing an overview of the sustainability-focused continuing education course offerings:
Saint Peter’s University has a long history in supporting and working in conjunction with RTC. In 2013, the University signed a historic agreement that enables qualified graduates of Rising Tide’s 12-week Community Business Academy to receive up to six college credits through prior learning experience from the School of Professional and Continuing Studies at Saint Peter’s University. The agreement was designed to stimulate the local economy in Hudson County and provide a model for progressive higher education programs across the United States.
Rising Tide Capital (RTC) has four primary programs: the Community Business Academy, the Start Something Challenge, Credit to Capital, and Business Acceleration Services. All of these programs are aimed at helping entrepreneurs to achieve self-sufficiency, thrive, and deliver value to their communities. RTC’s model is unique in that it offers ongoing mentoring and support to ensure sustainability.
