FastTrac Training

Michigan's FastTrac, New Venture® program for entrepreneurs is offered in an intensive 30-hour 'boot camp' format. A 90-minute orientation is required for participation and provides details about this reduced-tuition program for those in the early stages of business development. It is co-sponsored by the Michigan Small Business and Technology Development Centers (MI-SBTDC) and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). The normal $700 per student fee has been reduced for this season only to $140 through scholarship funding provided by the MEDC. Class size for the 10-week course is limited. There is no charge for the orientation but pre-registration is required.

 

A class in Traverse City is currently underway. Please contact SBTDC for details about future classes.
