Adult Education Center: Career Pathways Program: Reviewing Business Plans

Thursday, March 16th, 2017

The Adult Education Career Pathways students will present their Business Plans. 
This workshop will be interactive with groups of 5 students, and each participant will discuss one aspect of their business plan. 

As a result of the presentations, each student will learn: 
*Why do you need a business plan
* What your business plan needs to include
* The importance of the Executive Summary & what must be included
* Suggestions on developing the required financial projections & making them realistic
* Critiquing a fictional business plan

Owning your own business is one of the classic American dreams; if you are committed to taking your new or existing venture to the next level, then having a winning Business Plan is essential, and this workshop will send you on your way to having a Plan tailored to your individual needs, and not one based on some generic template.
