Looking for Entrepreneurs & Small Business Owners!


We are ready to begin recruiting for our first ever Workshops in Business Opportunities (WIBO) class! This 16 week course is touted as a miniature MBA course for the budding entrepreneur or small business owner. Do you have an idea for a small business? Do you already own your own business but are looking for more ideas on how to grow your business? Then this is for you!

A WIBO participant must be able to commit to the following:

1. 16  week course: The participant MUST attend each and every session.

2. The participant must be on time for every session and willing to participate.

            3. The course costs $700+ for the 16 weeks at other locations across the US, but we are able to      offer WIBO to our participants for a small fee of $50 due to generous grants from the RK Mellon and Hillman Foundations.

            4. The participant must already have an idea. This isn’t the class to figure out what your idea is, this is the class to take to turn your idea into a reality. At the end of the course, you will have a business plan in your hands. You will learn Marketing, Human Resources, Legal, Budgeting, Cash Flow, Management, etc.

Our start date is Tuesday 5/15/12 from 6-9p here at UPARC in the Large Conference Room and will continue for 16 weeks. If you are interested in this program, please contact me for more details on how to apply for our program. We will take approximately 10-15 people per class.

Please contact Brittany Linville for more information! Email: linvilleb@fswp.org or via phone 412-820-2050 ext. 419. Applications are due by May 5th!
