SET/ReSET Course Description

Home Business Training SET/ReSET Course Description

Sign up for an orientation now!

WEV’s Women’s Business Center (WBC) proudly offers the SET and ReSET program, a 14-week course providing week-by-week training in the most important aspects of organizing, financing, marketing and managing a small business. Participants leave the course with a complete business plan to manage the business and/or apply for funding.

The course is offered in two tracks to best meet the needs of clients. SET is designed for clients that are not yet in business, and committed to launching their business within a year. ReSET is most appropriate for clients with established businesses who are committed to stabilizing and growing the business over the next year.

The course is divided in to five sections:

Section Weeks
Business Basics 1-2
Feasibility and Marketing 3-6
Business Finances 7-10
Business Management 11-12
Business Plan Writing 13-14

Logistics

The course is offered twice annually: February through May and August through December. Classes meet weekly for three hours, with two additional full-day Saturday workshops. Maximum class size is 25.
