Level is the best educational programming available to incarcerated learners, and this was my favorite Level guide so far. The course organization and resources were excellent! The content was applicable to both those who want to own their own business and those who may work within an existing one.

Testimonials for this guide:
- Colin, in a federal prison in Illinois
I learned a lot from this entrepreneurship guide. There were some concepts related to business that I didn't know enough about. Thank you very much. What you do matters. Level is one of the organizations I mention to inmates when they show interest in learning something new or doing something productive.
- Sergio, incarcerated in Texas
The curriculum was elaborate, detailed, and covered everything I wanted to learn. My facility does not provide a business program such as this one. Anybody who wants to learn how to start and grow a business can find it here. It’s straight to the point and covers everything they need to know. Keep up the good work.
