Blue Ox Business Academy

Unleash your talent

We believe that the best way to strengthen businesses is from the inside out. That’s why our Chamber offers a full array of leadership and management training programs. We invite our members to “unleash their talent” through the Blue Ox Business Academy.

Launched in 2015 in partnership with Anderson Brothers Construction, our goal is to provide high-quality, affordable training right here in the Brainerd Lakes Area. Participants save on travel and also build relationships with other local businesses, learning from each other as well as our professional trainers. All programs are designed to be engaging and practical so that participants can put their skills to use right away.
