Oiler Enterprises is the essence of experiential learning! The mission of Oiler Enterprises is to provide students with opportunities to work in and run their own business, enabling students to gain valuable life and business skills, enhancing their academic experience, and preparing them for productive careers. Any student at the university is welcome to get involved in some manner, whether it as an employee, manager or developer of a business. Students need not be in the College of Business to take advantage of this opportunity. Students interested in developing a business are encouraged to write a business plan and present the idea to the Oiler Enterprises Board for approval… More about that under “How to propose a new business”. 

What are the advantages for a student to be involved in an Oiler Enterprise business?

Having been a manager or developer of any student run business will look great on their resume and truly give them the opportunity to experience the joys and challenges of starting or managing a business. Employers are always looking to recruit new graduates who have first-hand experience applying their classroom learning in real life situations. Every new professional today can benefit from learning how to be an entrepreneur. It gives you the skills to know how to successfully start up and run a small business which is a skill all majors can use. Whether you’re in public relations, equestrian, education, graphic design, computer science, ESOH, languages, human resources, or any other major at Findlay – you need to know how to promote your talents and develop professional services and products that people want to buy.
