Free placement in 10000 Small Businesses, a business management course funded by a $500 million investment by the Goldman Sachs Foundation and Goldman Sachs, is now available on a competitive basis. The program will run until 10,000 small business owners have completed the course. Courses are offered in cities around the U.S., including Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City and Cleveland.
Owners applying must have a small business which has been in operation for at least two years, has revenues between $150K and $4M in the most recent fiscal year, and has a minimum of four employees. Classes are balanced to include multiple business sectors, and enrollment for each course is limited to 30-40 participants. The program of eleven full-day sessions and out-of-class business building activities is designed to help create jobs and economic growth.
In Southern California, both Long Beach Community College and Los Angeles City College are offering the 10,000 Small Businesses curriculum. The fall enrollment deadline has passed, but it isn't too early to plan for the next session offered. For more information, see 10000 Small Businesses - Locations, Partners and Application.
