Preparing Ithaca's Entrepreneurs For Growth Into Storefronts!

This 10-week, virtual program is designed to educate and prepare Ithaca (New York's) small business owners for successful retail growth.

 

We have strategically curated a combination of 37 Oaks University courses, 1:1 coaching, and hands-on exercises and workshops to provide the skills and knowledge needed to shift into a storefront location. It is the perfect next step to the I.R.E.P Business Leaders of Colors curriculum.  Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will have access to retail sales spaces (more details to come).
