The Windward Community College Office of Career and Community Education<\/a> announced a new partnership with Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Small Business Development Center<\/a> (Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> SBDC). Under the agreement, business consultants from Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> SBDC<\/abbr> will meet on campus with Windward CC<\/abbr> student entrepreneurs and community members to provide free advice and consultation on a wide range of business topics: starting a business, strategy formation, pursuing financing, marketing and sales, creating a financial management system and improving company performance and more.<\/p>\n

“Our office recognizes the contributions of our Koʻolaupoko<\/span business community and has recently established a business and leadership program to offer support and training. This valued partnership with Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> SBDC<\/abbr> significantly enhances our ability to better serve our community,” said Michael Moser<\/strong>, director of Windward CC<\/abbr>’s Office of Career and Community Education.<\/p>\n

This is the first element of a plan to further leverage our resources for the achievement of common goals,” said Joseph Burns, director of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Small Business Development Center–Oʻahu<\/span>.<\/p>\n
