Entrepreneurship Training Program (ETP)

The Entrepreneurship Training Program (ETP) has a simple mission: to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate business education and mentorship services for free to small business owners.

Our classes are instructed by bilingual subject-matter experts with real-world experience and successful track records in their respective fields.  Selected participants will have access to the resources and the know-how necessary to start or expand their businesses.

Applications to the 2026 Program are now closed
