INNOVA, Kauffman Foundation and WV SBDC announce business and entrepreneurship program in Charleston
10-week program, hosted by Jackson Kelly PLLC, helps small businesses develop business plan and growth strategies
The FastTrac® GrowthVenture™ entrepreneurial and business education program will be offered in Charleston beginning October 9 at Jackson Kelly’s law offices in Laidley Tower at 500 Lee Street. The program includes one session each week from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. for 10 weeks.
FastTrac® is a practical, hands-on business development program designed to help entrepreneurs hone the skills needed to create, manage and grow a successful business. FastTrac® participants don’t just learn about business, they live it. They work on their own business ideas or ventures throughout the program — moving their ventures to reality or new levels of growth. FastTrac® is one of America’s leading entrepreneurial training programs and remains on the cutting edge by providing programs that are written by entrepreneurs, facilitated by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs.
Tuition for the program is $1,100. Participants who successfully complete the program may qualify for a refund of at least 50 percent of their paid tuition by the SBDC. To register for the Charleston FastTrac® program or for further information, email INNOVA at pgregg@wvhtf.org or call Patrick Gregg at 304.333.6773.
The program will be facilitated by members of the West Virginia Small Business Development Center (SBDC) who have been certified by the Kauffman Foundation. The SBDC forged a partnership recently with INNOVA® and the Kauffman Foundation to provide FastTrac® programs across West Virginia.
The FastTrac® program is offered by the INNOVA® Commercialization Group (INNOVA®), an initiative of the West Virginia High Technology Consortium (WVHTC) Foundation, and is a leading edge program developed by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation of Kansas City.
INNOVA® Director Greg Clutter said the program is gaining momentum because of the recent partnership with SBDC and the reputation of FastTrac’s success around the globe. “Perhaps the best thing about FastTrac® is that it is an established program known around the world. It is offered in all 50 states and on three continents, and the early results of programs held in West Virginia tell us that FastTrac® graduates have increased revenues and spawned job creation.”
