Comprehensive Workshops: Covering essential entrepreneurial skills, from business management to customer service.
We partnered with the Entrepreneurship Community & Cultural Office to offer the Business Incubator Program to aspiring BIPOC youth and young adult entrepreneurs from our community. Throughout the program, participants engaged in a variety of workshops covering essential topics such as Business Management, Marketing, Branding, and Financial Literacy. They also gained insights into the Legal Aspects of running a business and honed their Pitching and Presentation Skills. The program fostered Networking and Relationship Building, along with strategies for Customer Service and Retention, providing a comprehensive foundation for our young emerging entrepreneurs to thrive.
A huge thank you to everyone who supported this initiative and to the incredible participants who brought their energy, creativity, and passion to the table. Your hard work and dedication are truly inspiring!
Looking forward to seeing these new businesses grow and make a positive impact in our community.
