The needs of small businesses differ from those of their larger counterparts. Smaller businesses need employees with a broader base of knowledge and expertise. Employees need to be skilled in the area of specialty, but they also need to understand the entire range of work done by the business. They need to work more closely with vendors and suppliers, and they need to be self-motivated problem solvers. It is the mission of Horizons to produce graduates with the academic perspective and skills they need to be prepared to become resourceful individuals, responsible members of the community , and valuable employees.
Horizons wants students to be able to link learning to living.
