CGF To Provide First FREE Business Training Workshop On October 31st
Sunday, October 18, 2009
After several months of hard work, CGF is ready to offer its first free business training workshop on October 31st from 3-5 PM. The workshop, taught over 5 consecutive weekends, will be held at the office of English for Action, 122 Manton Ave., Room 710 in Olneyville, Providence, Rhode Island. Designed for individuals interested in a loan from CGF but who are not yet ready to apply, the workshop teaches basic business skills, such as saving, profit, marketing and cost-benefit analysis, and follows up with activities such as market analyses and profit and loss statements that enable participants to see if their business idea can be profitable. What makes the workshop truly unique, however, is the way in which it teaches these business basics within the context of green business products, services and practices; for example, in the lesson on cost-benefit analysis, participants learn why it is better to pay more up front for an energy-efficient appliance because, over time, it will be far cheaper to operate than the less-efficient appliance that has a lower up-front cost.
7 excited entrepreneurs have already signed up for the workshop (which will be taught in Spanish) and we are eager to report back on the success of the first class!
