GROW 1: ENTREPRENEURIAL TRAINING
An 8-week online program designed to help new entrepreneurs build their business basics. Participants join for 90 minutes per week, alternating between expert instruction and mentor support. Partnering with the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), this program covers business fundamentals, marketing, financial planning, and pitching. Entrepreneurs leave with a validated business plan and a clear path to launch.
GROW 2: BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
A self-paced business development program for existing businesses looking to boost operations and grow.

Participants work at their own pace, using structured analysis and expert guidance to position for expansion, secure funding, and improve profitability. Key supports include marketing campaigns, forecasting and payroll.
