WIBO Classes for Spring 2013

We are ready to begin recruiting for our Spring 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.

We have two classes scheduled as follows:

Starting February 19^th, from 6-9pm on Tuesdays, at Family Services’ offices in East Liberty. (We are in the same plaza as Trader Joe’s.)

Starting February 21^st, from 6-9pm on Thursdays, at Family Services’ offices at Central City Plaza in New Kensington.

If anyone is interested, an application can be obtained by emailing Brittany Linville at linvilleb@fswp.org. Space is limited. Get your applications in ASAP. This is most likely the FINAL set of WIBO classes we will be teaching.
