LA21, a West Philadelphia based CDC and non-profit focused on supporting diverse communities of small business owners, today announced the launch of a one year pilot program designed to help all residents in Philadelphia interested in entrepreneurship to prepare to pursue their dream.
“We see a gap in services offered to aspiring entrepreneurs. Many people who dream of business ownership aren’t ready to fit into existing training programs offered throughout the City, said Kwaku Boateng, Executive Director of LA21. We need to act now, to address both the services gap and the negative economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. We have accelerated our efforts and are thrilled to be working with Marci Smith Consulting on this endeavor.”
The pilot program is designed to help participants gain the skills, knowledge and personal insight needed to start a business, gain clarity on their idea, and become ready to participate in existing training programs focused on business start-ups. The pilot is rooted in change methodology, trauma informed, and comprises workshops and individual and group coaching.
The virtual program begins with a required 90 minute introductory webinar and is free to participants.
