The 9 month program will consist of 6 full day training models including:
- Success Measures for TA Providers
- Consulting/Client Relationship Management
- Business Plan Fundamentals for Start-ups
- Existing Business Strategic Planning and Diagnostic Tools
- Financial Sustainability/Asset Management
- Strategic Management of small business programs
The TA Training Program will be consist of intensive, hands-on sessions, that incorporate a mix of one-on-one consulting sessions, online TA provider and instructor collaboration, and the development of Program Delivery Guides.
Raising the Standard for Small Business Technical Assistance sessions will be led by Jason Friedman and Marian Doub of Friedman Associates as well as Elizabeth Thornton and Donna Stoddard of Entrepreneurship Advantage, Inc.
