It’s a dream in the making! Advantedge Education was one of 32 woman-owned businesses in the Tri-State Area selected to participate in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses (10KSB) and Tory Burch Foundation Initiative program.
The 10KSB national program was created to help small business owners develop the skills needed to stimulate job creation and economic growth. By providing entrepreneurs with usable business education, mentorship, peer learning, and access to capital, business owners are in a stronger position to address barriers that limit growth.
The Tory Burch Foundation Initiative was founded in 2009 to empower women entrepreneurs. The Foundation provides resources and tools to help women entrepreneurs grow their businesses, benefiting their families and communities.
Professionally rewarding, intellectually stimulating, and eye-opening
I started attending 10KSB on October 7, 2015 as one of the owners and the representative for our business, and graduated from the program on March 8, 2016. The experience was both personally and professionally rewarding, intellectually stimulating, and eye-opening. The expertise of the women in this group is inspiring and I’m thrilled to be able to share knowledge, receive feedback, and network with these amazing women.
One of the many benefits of being now an alumna of this program is it connects Advantedge Education to the entire 10KSB alumni network. If you happen to be a small business owner or aspiring entrepreneur, I highly encourage that you apply. Visit the www.laguardia.edu/10ksb to learn more, or contact me. I’d be happy to share my experiences with you.
As you can imagine there’s a lot of buzz happening in the office and you can expect some big changes coming soon from Advantedge Education. A few of the items in the lineup for 2016 include:
- Re-branding and improving the navigation of our courses
- Releasing a new hearing loss series
- Launching another New York State mandatory course for teachers regarding school violence prevention
