Berkshire Economic Recovery Program Announces Fall Offerings
BERKSHIRE COUNTY — 1Berkshire, in partnership with Berkshire Regional Planning Commission and with support from the United States Economic Development Administration, has announced a third slate of technical assistance offerings of the Berkshire Economic Recovery Program (BERP).
The series continues with returning and new offerings including "It’s Time to Stop Running Your Business by the Seat of Your Pants", "Jumpstarting Your Crowdfunding Campaign", "Beginning Your Woman and Minority Owned Business Certification Process" as well as two cohorts offered fully in Spanish including "Branding Para Emprendedores" and "Estrategia De Marca Vs Logo."
Participants in each topical cohort will join a scheduled kickoff workshop with the technical assistance provider. Upon completion of the workshop, each participant will be provided up to two hours of free one-on-one technical assistance from the consultant leading the workshop.
Through a series of 14 cohorts across four topical areas in the Fall of 2021 and Spring of 2022, the Berkshire Economic Recovery Program Technical Assistance series was able to support more than 50 businesses through targeted, need-specific offerings. This resulted in over $500,000 in funding collectively accessed by businesses through their participation.
