Course Description
This 90 minute webinar trains trainers to teach the Empowerment Workshop curriculum, a business training program about entrepreneurship and small business management for Native entrepreneurs or business owners.
Our Train the Trainer webinars are designed for any organization or individual who works with tribal communities on small business development. The Empowerment Workshop curriculum provides culturally relevant business resources for Native business people.
In this 90 minute webinar, participants will:
- Understand how the Empowerment Workshop curriculum is crafted for cultural relevance and is made for the learning styles of Native adult learners
- Learn to use the lesson plans, exercises, and materials of the Empowerment Workshop curriculum to deliver a 2-day workshop, or to design shorter sessions
- Identify your SBA resources, including local SBA offices and programs that serve your region, so you can connect participants with ongoing business support

- Small business development centers
