Virtual Option for Summer!
This class is in-person at the City's Small Business Training Room, Suite 300. We have added a special option to participate virtually, as needed. We understand that during the summer some of our participants experience difficulties with attending in-person classes, because of childcare and other challenges. We strongly encourage in-person attendance - so much happens in the classroom, and there is great networking to be had with other participants, in the room. But if virtual is the best option for you, you are welcome to register using that ticket option. You will get instructions for how to join the class virtually via email.
