Training Program For Entrepreneurs11:05AM / Friday, January 30, 2009
Berkshire Enterprises working with Aspinwall Stables will be conducting an evening program "Seminars for Entrepreneurs" on Tuesday Evenings starting on February 24th. This eight week program is designed for people who want to start a business or grow an existing one. Space is limited to 10 participants.
The eight session series provides practical, hands on information on how to turn an idea into a viable business. Participants in past programs have started new businesses, obtained financing for existing businesses, developed bookkeeping and accounting systems, and implemented new marketing strategies. Increased sales and increased profits have been directly attributable to the program. David Roche, owner of Aspinwall Stables, and Steve Fogel, Program Director of Berkshire Enterprises will be the leading the sessions covering such topics as business planning, market research and strategy, money management and financing. “Seminars for Entrepreneurs” will be held on eight Tuesdays from 6-8PM at One Fenn Street in Pittsfield. The fee for the program, including all course materials and 2 hours of individual business consulting is $350. For more information or to register please call Steve Fogel today at (413) 441-3688.
Scholarships are available for the “Seminars for Entrepreneurs" fall session. The Alan R. Robertson Scholarship Fund was established in April 2000 to honor the memory of Alan R. Robertson, one of the founders of Berkshire Enterprises and a devoted proponent of small business in Berkshire County. Eligibility is based on enrollment in the seminar, demonstrated financial need, and demonstration of entrepreneurial goals.
Berkshire Enterprises still has space available for displaced workers who want to start a business. That program is held on Mondays from 9:00AM-12:30PM. It meets at Berkshire Community College and is free to qualified applicants. For more information or to obtain an application, individuals should call Steve Fogel at 413-441-3688. |
