From

the

Dean

Welcome to Sonoma State University's School of Extended and International Education!

As the recent election suggests, change comes quickly and in many forms. Sometimes we also want a career change or enhancement. Our certificate and non-degree courses provide a beginning to such change. These courses and programs provide continuing education to many professions and professionals, deliver critical needs for businesses enhancing their current workforce and give opportunities for professionals to remain competitive in fields such as education, human resources and construction.

We have a variety of craft beer classes, hosted by Lagunitas, and we offer classes on wine business and management. For those more musically inclined we have our audio and recording production certificate. All our classes involve community partnerships, on and off campus. These partnerships include our outstanding staff, faculty, and community members with a single focus: the student (you!). Our theme is to provide access and partnership for lifelong learning in the North Bay and beyond. If you are thinking of a career change or life enhancement—or both—please take a class or two!

Sincerely,

Robert Eyler, Ph.D.Interim DeanSchool of Extended and International EducationSenior International OfficerSonoma State University

Wine Business

Schedule Time Location Units ID CostWed, Mar 15 - May 3 6:00 - 9:00pm GMC 1057 2.4 CEUs BUS850W #4118 $1295

People often think of the wine business in terms of making wine or selling grapes. The complexity of tending to a vineyard or producing wine often overwhelms entrepreneurs looking to start a winery, or the owners of small family businesses in the wine industry. As a result, the journey into wine becomes stressful or chaotic.

The focus of wine entrepreneurship is to provide principals of small wine businesses (or those who aspire to enter the industry) with the space and the time to reflect on their vision. It will aid them in developing a business path for a profitable new product, new business, or career in the wine industry.

Over eight weeks, participants in the seminar will be exposed to key aspects of the wine business, including the regulatory climate for making and selling wine, financial frameworks to develop a vineyard and winery or create a virtual brand, and different models for profitability. You will hear from industry leaders and veterans who will describe their experiences and lessons learned. By the end of the course, every participant will have the tools and frameworks to critically evaluate the competitive landscape and make decisions on a course of action.

This certificate is only offered once annually in the spring.
