THATCHER — The Eastern Arizona College Small Business Development Center is inviting those thinking of starting a business, as well as existing small business owners, to the Graham County DreamBuilder kick-off meeting Wednesday, Feb. 9, from 10 a.m. to noon, at the EAC Academic Programs Building, room 111.
DreamBuilder, funded by Freeport-McMoRan and created by the ASU Thunderbird School, is a unique online business training program designed for women to assist them in starting or growing their own business.
The kick-off meeting is designed to introduce the program and start those interested on the first few courses. The online courses walk the user through the basics of starting a business while simultaneously building a business plan. The online courses are supplemented with weekly workshops under the direction of Business Analyst Sandra Robinson at EAC.
Courses start in February and successful students will receive a certificate of completion during the graduation ceremony in April. While the program is designed for women, men are welcome to attend.
This kick-off meeting is free, while the supplemental course series, which starts Feb. 16, costs $50.
Registration for the kick-off meeting is encouraged and can be completed online at https://bit.ly/3EJocPh, by calling 928-428-8590 or by e-mailing sandra.robinson@eac.edu.
