SBA announces 20 new centers, e-learning platform for women entrepreneurs
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced grant funding and the historic launch of 20 new Women’s Business Centers (WBC) across America, including a new one in Memphis.
According to this announcement, the opening of the 20 new WBCs is the largest single expansion in the program’s 30-year tenure. The WBCs will be hosted in rural and underserved markets and widen the footprint and partnership with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
In addition to opening these 20 new WBCs, SBA will launch “Ascent,” a free digital e-learning platform geared to help women entrepreneurs grow and expand their businesses. A live webinar explaining the new service is scheduled for tomorrow at 1 p.m. Those interested in learning more can register here.
