WSU Horizons along with various partners (see below) has begun a training program designed to assist local individuals who wish to start and/or expand local small businesses. The initial training was provided by David Plate, PhD (and retired executive from AIG). The curriculum was specially designed for this project and the target population, and translated into Spanish (designed to be taught to a monolingual Spanish audience if necessary). The basic training is followed by 5 specialized workshops that deal with various topics, including a meeting between entrepreneurs and possible funders. All training sessions were given in a bilingual format to accommodate monolingual Spanish speakers.
Partners: Horizons, WSU Tri-Cities, Benton City Economic Development Council; Small Business Administration, Council of Governments; Benton/Franklin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce; Moses Lake Prosperity Center.
