Starting Your Enterprise
At Rockbridge Creative Institute, career preparation is woven into every aspect of your education. We are designed to help you not only master your craft but also develop the entrepreneurial mindset and business acumen needed to thrive as an owner.
By the end of your first year, you’ll have setup an LLC and have multiple certification licenses under your belt, such as drystone walling and welding. You’ll be able to start accepting real work during your training, or sell your personal creations through the RCI store.
We want to ensure all of our students are not just skilled tradesmen, but financially successful businessmen ready to run their own company.
