The Reno Entrepreneurial Development Institute is a unique learning center for juniors and seniors in Central Kansas. REDI opened doors in 1999 and is located at The Quest Center for Entrepreneurs.

REDI is highly recommended for the student who aspires to own a business. Students take an in-depth study of the many facets of being an entrepreneur. The curriculum includes learning to create a successful business plan as well as choosing a product or service to market. Students are immersed in the planning and execution of entrepreneurial activities in a start-up business. While students are under the supervision of the instructor, they are expected to display responsible independent action and to interact frequently with business founders, owners or chief executives.

Students have the option of taking the REDI program for Hutchinson Community College credit. Student can earn up to six credit hours. College credit is an option and is not required for admission in the REDI program.

REDI students use the latest technology on their projects. Below are some examples of what can be done at REDI. (please click on the picture to enlarge)

One of REDI's in-class business simulations includes digital photography. Students can create reproductions using digital equipment. We are currently working with LOGO 105 and Frank Terrill on this project.

Saving on ink cartridges is a great advantage when creating digital prints for customers!

Our digital setup is state-of-the-art. Students can work with customers to create the best product.

Last year REDI students competed at the KTEC State Business Plan Competition. REDI entered two teams in the competition.
