Why refer to Pathways to Profit
It isn’t a one-size-fits-all “start a business” program. We assess each participant first, then match them to one of four income pathways: Start, Grow, Contract or Work. That makes it a fit for participants who aren’t sure they want to be entrepreneurs.
24 weeks · WIOA/ETPL training pathway · recognized credential · 12 months of continued support · cohorts start October 28 and November 9.
For participants who don’t qualify for WIOA
If someone is employed, or isn’t eligible for WIOA but wants to build a business plan, you can still send them our way. Our self-paced Plan Builder track includes 1:1 coaching and a Plan Defense session, fully virtual, with the first cohort starting October 28. Participants enroll directly; no WIOA paperwork is needed.
