Are you an entrepreneur and do you experience a disability?

Are you interested in business training and meeting other business owners?

You may qualify to participate in our self-employment training series. CHD offers training and networking sessions to business owners with disabilities using online meeting rooms. The training sessions focus on a specific topic (e.g., Finances or Marketing) for a specific industry (e.g., arts and crafts or service businesses). The networking sessions focus on discussions around the training topics and how to network within and outside of one’s own community.

The sessions meet once a week for 6 weeks, using an online meeting room. See the self-employment event calendar below for more information about training topics and times.
