In October 1981, the Small Business Institute opened its doors at Durham Technical Institute. It was established to provide entrepreneurs with the information, tools, and resources needed to develop business ideas and to become viable, profitable, and successful. In 1987, the now Small Business Center moved to the historic Venable Place Business Incubator in downtown Durham to start offering workshops, business-specific course work, and one-on-one counseling. In 2003, the Center moved to the sixth floor of the NC Mutual Life Insurance Company Building, and in 2018, the Center moved to its current location in the Chesterfield Building, also downtown.

“To be accredited means your standards are of a higher quality,” said Dr. Jean D. Brown, director and clinical coordinator of Allied Health at Durham Tech. “We had to show proficiency in several areas. People can see Durham Tech has a high-quality Continuing Education Phlebotomy Program.”

As debates rage about the value of higher education and confidence continues to erode in the impact of higher education institutions, community colleges need to remind the public and policymakers of their mission and demonstrate the understandable and measurable effects for the students they enroll and the communities they serve.
Durham Tech will offer in-person assistance for enrolling, advising, and college and community resources through a new on-campus Student Resources Center.
