Fort Myers Small Business class now accepting applications
Individuals thinking about starting their own business, but need some mentoring, are invited to apply to the Goodwill Southwest Florida MicroEnterprise Institute, scheduled for April 15 – May 23, 2024.
The MicroEnterprise Institute is a six-week training program to help emerging entrepreneurs start new ventures and grow small businesses. Graduates complete a comprehensive training course and prepare a solid plan to guide their start-up. They work with mentors who are successful businesspeople and hear from subject matter experts in areas of accounting, legal, marketing, insurance, and funding.
A workbook, used by organizations across America, assists in transforming vision into a plan for a successful business. Classes are scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m. on Monday and Thursday evenings at Keiser University, 9100 Forum Corporate Parkway, Fort Myers.
A recent program graduate says, “This course helped me organize and plan the steps for creating my business. Coming in, I had no idea how to start a business that would lead to success, and now I have that.”
