Center for Business Excellence

The Dr. Robert K. Jabs School of Business at California Baptist University hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for its new Center for Business Excellence on Nov. 4. The center is aimed at helping small and medium-sized business owners in the community.

The center provides services such as:

• One-on-one coaching with a faculty member with an entrepreneurial experience
• Official Certiport testing center, where employees and employers can obtain certificates in a variety of technologies
• Holding seminars in conjunction with the Dr. Paul and Annie Kienel Leadership Institute

“Some years ago, the brainchild of the faculty of the Jabs School was to engage with our community directly. “We are excited by the presence of this Center for Business Excellence, which will provide seminars and training and certifications to make a difference in the lives of small to medium sized business owners, leaders and staff.”
