Experience the CKEC
Tabor College has become the entrepreneurial hub of Marion County and continues to spread its wings through south-central Kansas. After securing a $90,000, one-year grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the City of Hillsboro, the college is positioned to boost entrepreneurship on- and off-campus. Tabor and its partners launched the CKEC in 2022, serving as the supporting entity to local and regional entrepreneurs.
CKEC offices are located at D and Lincoln Streets on the Tabor College campus. Walk-ins are welcome during office hours and rentable office spaces are also available. Appointments can be made for mentoring.
