Training

SBS has several training opportunities available.  Some are geared toward start-up businesses or people with not much more then idea.  These trainings sessions are free to the public as they are most often sponsored by local organizations.  Others focus on existing businesses that are looking to grow or seeking new markets or strategies.  A third set of training programs extend their reach into larger organization looking for employee development opportunities and oftentimes can discuss topics of interest to a start-ups or existing business.

Sessions can be built to suite most schedules with morning, daytime (lunch-n-learn), or evening schedules.  In an effort to collaborate and share resources, trainings scheduled to suite a particular organization's needs may be offered to other organizations throughout the region.  The benefits are cost savings on fee-based training sessions and provide smaller organizations with opportunities not available otherwise.  Training session costs are negotiable based on the size of your organization and level of customization required.   

Training sessions are instructed by SBS/Innovation Center staff.  Where necessary, university professors and staff will present and /or consult with us on the development and delivery of the training.
