Since 1989, the Women’s Small Business Program (WSBP) has run Start Up, a semester-long class designed to help women gain the knowledge and skills they need to run their own business. Using the framework of writing a business plan, students learn the language of business, increase their skills in business operations, marketing, and finance, and build an outstanding personal and professional network along the way.
The next session of Start Up begins January 23, 2020 and registration is ongoing. To learn more about the Women’s Small Business Program, contact Lisa Wood, Director, at [email protected].
