Klamath Community College’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Small Business Management Program (SBM) is accepting applications for a limited number of participants.
The nine-month SBM program is designed for established business owners who have filed at least two years of taxes and are ready to begin further business development. This unique combination of once-a-month classroom sessions, one-on-one advisor coaching, and networking, is aimed at improving each business – from marketing to managerial skills – with a focus on annual goals.
The SBM program covers management topics with customized curriculum and helps identify and prioritize outcomes, and develop plans to achieve them. Topics include: business and personal skills assessment, strategy and planning, employment law for small businesses, marketing essentials, digital marketing management, finance and accounting for decision-making, leadership skills for customer service, and lean operations.
Monthly three-hour classroom sessions are a combination of instructor-led learning and discussion at the Klamath IDEA Center, 803 Main St., Suite 103. Sessions begin Tuesday, Oct. 10, from 2:30-5:30 p.m. Additional monthly networking opportunities with entrepreneur peers will also be offered.
Limited space is available for the SBM program, which costs $795. To enroll, or for more information, contact Estella Woodley at 541-205-5404 or email sbdc@klamathcc.edu.
