Spark MHK is pleased to announce that enrollment for the Spring 2022 cohort of Entrepreneur Business Basics is now open and accepting applications for its next Entrepreneur Business Basics cohort beginning February 3, 2022.
Seats are limited as Spark only accepts up to 15 businesses for the program. Spark sold out its last EBB class in the fall in a matter of hours.
In partnership with Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce, Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce, Pottawatomie County Economic Development Center, and NetWork Kansas, Spark offers Entrepreneur Business Basics cohorts, hosted and facilitated through the EBB program.
Entrepreneur Business Basics is a 12-week cohort built on Kauffman FastTrac, a nationally-recognized entrepreneurship curriculum. This course was designed with a focus on the unique challenges and opportunities of Entrepreneurs of Color within the first five years of operating their business.
Utilizing a blended format of EBB Classic and Kauffman FastTrac curriculum, the EBB program prepares the entrepreneur to understand the basics of entrepreneurial mindsets, business structures, financial statements, branding and marketing. Participants are equipped to successfully complete a business plan throughout the course and determine business feasibility.
This program was designed with a focus on minority business owners and entrepreneurs in our region who have been disproportionately affected by persistent inequities in wealth and access to capital. The goal of the program is to reduce these barriers and promote the achievement of sustainable and scalable success for minority businesses.
The goal of EBB sessions is to equip and train low-to-moderate income entrepreneurs to start or grow their business to sustainability through practical and sound fundamentals. EBB accomplishes Spark’s mission by providing workshops, training sessions and resources facilitated by successful entrepreneurs, seasoned corporate executives and thriving organizations focused on entrepreneurship.
