Small Business Savvy
The Small Business Academy provides training in business and management concepts geared specifically to entrepreneurs and small business owners, as well as access to other helpful resources. The information you find here is ideal for people interested in launching or expanding their own business.
We are happy to be hosting the Start UP Business Success Program in collaboration with the City of Gary. Upon completion of the program, which provides extensive business creation, operation, and management information and support to Gary entrepreneurs, we host a vendor show. The next vendor show will be held on October 25, 2023 in the IU Northwest Library Conference Center and is open to the public from 7 to 9 pm.
In addition, we offer monthly "Zoom Conversations" to discuss topics of interest to small business owners and entrepreneurs. We host business professionals who are working with business owners every day to share their expertise, then we open the conversation to attendees to ask questions or share their experiences. The 2023 Zoom Conversation schedule is below.
