Two Upcoming Programs to Learn about Business – From Getting Started to Securing the Funds


 

As President Riccobono shared in the  <https://nfb.org/resources/speeches-and-reports/presidential-reports/2022-presidential-report> 2022 Presidential Report, the National Federation of the Blind works to bridge the gaps leading to unemployment and underemployment among the Nation’s blind through our Center for Employment Opportunities initiative. And this year, we were a founding ambassador in the global launch of SmartJob, LLC. As part of that partnership, we are excited to share the following August business opportunities through Include, LLC.  

 


Track 1: From Idea to Business


Do you have an idea that you think could be a business? Do you not know where to start? Or do you have a business at the beginning stages, but are not sure how to take it to the next level?
