The Women's Business Center of Northern Ohio is partnering with Access Tech to provide Cleveland entrepreneurs, both men and women, with the equipment and technology-focused training to grow their business through the StraightLine Entrepreneur Initiative (SEI).
The five trainings being offered through the virtual program are a 9-week commitment for 15-20 entrepreneurs looking to start or expand their small business. Possessing the necessary technology and software is not required to participate in the program.
Upon completion of the program, particpants will be entered into a raffle to win $500.
For questions about the program, please contact Diego Hodge at (614) 559-0115 or dhodge@ecdi.org
