Designed for people with no or limited business experience, the course will be accessible on the Internet starting on March 1. The goal of the Department of Commerce in sponsoring the course is to help small businesses reduce the risk of failure while giving them access to the tools they will need to have greater business success. The Small Business Administration provided a grant to help in the funding. The NxLeveL Training Network, Qwest Foundation and the University of Montana are co-sponsors.
Spots are limited.
Too often time, money and distance stand in the way of our small business people being able to get the training they need, said Robyn Hampton, Director, Small Business Development Centers. We are committed to offering counseling, workshops, peer networking and courses through a variety of communication technologies. We believe the Internet is the place to start. Participants can access the course any time day or night and have access to an instructor for comment and feedback for up to six months. All coursework is provided, accessed and completed online.
