THATCHER – The Eastern Arizona College Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is excited to invite you to the Graham County DreamBuilder kick-off meeting on Feb. 9, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the EAC Academic Programs Building, Room #111.
DreamBuilder, funded by Freeport-McMoRan and created by the ASU Thunderbird School, is a unique online business training program designed for women to assist them in starting or growing their own businesses.
The online courses walk the user through the basics of starting a business while simultaneously building a business plan. The online courses are supplemented with weekly workshops under the direction of Business Analyst Sandra Robinson at EAC starting in February and ending in April. This first meeting is free, and the supplemental course series starts on Feb. 16 and costs $50. Successful students will receive a certificate of completion during our graduation ceremony in April.
The kick-off meeting is designed to introduce the program and start those interested in the first few courses. While the program is designed for women, men are welcome to attend. Registration for the kick-off meeting is encouraged and can be completed online at https://bit.ly/3EJocPh, by calling 928-428-8590 or by emailing sandra.robinson@eac.edu.
