The Growing Your Business 201, Expert E-Commerce Course, and 100Knoxville: Idea to Reality Courses are now open for applicants.
The Knoxville Entrepreneur Center (KEC) is kicking off the New Year with a busy schedule! The organization has announced three opportunities to apply for business education cohorts, along with several upcoming events designed to help entrepreneurs start the year on the right foot.
Starting on January 22, Growing Your Business 201 will kick off with a comprehensive 5-week program designed to equip entrepreneurs who are ready for growth with the knowledge, strategies, and tools to scale their business systematically and efficiently.
The program addresses the most common challenges entrepreneurs face during the scaling process, providing participants with the guidance and support they need to overcome them. This is an action-driven, collaborative process with a small and supportive group of like-minded entrepreneurs, led by Anna Wiggins who’ll introduce concepts and help entrepreneurs immediately put them to work. She is the founder of the highly successful and recently sold Loveliest Bride.
This program is for people who have been working on their business for several years and might need some guidance taking the next step toward their goals.
