The Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship provides training, materials, content, mentoring, and guidance for CEO (Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities) programs. Institute staff members work closely with business, school, and community leaders in the establishment and launch of CEO programs. Staff members then work closely with CEO boards and facilitators in the ongoing work of the program in each community.
