Wine Business Management online <\/em><\/strong>– <\/em><\/strong>A new cohort is forming for the spring semester and applications are being accepted through this Friday, February 3.\u00a0 This new certificate program kicked off in the fall and concluded with great feedback on the four-week foundation level course taught by Tim Hanni.\u00a0 Here are a few of the comments from students in the inaugural group:<\/p>\n “Like any business there is a foundation of knowledge needed in the wine business that is particular to this industry. This course set the relevant expectations and provides a good foundation of understanding the complexities and financial resources needed to participate.”\u009d – Rickey Trombetta, Trombetta Family Wines<\/p>\n “As someone looking to make a career change and enter the wine industry I was looking for a reputable and flexible way to gain some necessary education. The online SSU Wine Business Management Foundation Level was the perfect start. It provided me with an understanding of what it takes to produce a wine and bring it to market. \u00a0Tim Hanni is a fantastic instructor and offers in-depth industry\u00a0 knowledge while encouraging students to look at issues from multiple points of view. The course has fueled my interest in the industry even more and I look forward to the next level.”\u009d – Jeff Zielinski<\/p>\n “This is an invaluable course in helping wineries understand how the variables in making wine affect profitability.”\u009d – Karen Heintz, Charles Heintz Vineyards<\/p>\n
