From Entrepreneurs to Entrepreneurs

The Hispanic Entrepreneurship Training Program (HETP) has a simple mission, to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate business education and mentorship services for free to Hispanic small business owners. 

​

Our classes are instructed by bilingual subject-matter experts with real world experience and successful track records in their respective fields.  Supplementing the classroom experience, existing business owners will be afforded the opportunity to be assigned a mentor/coach to more effectively implement strategy and cultivate ideas.  Corporate sponsors shall also provide workshops designed to further enhance participant awareness of funding opportunities and critical skill sets. 

​

Program participants will be equipped with the resources and know-how to start and/or expand their businesses. The course’s focus is creating a comprehensive business and expanding participants’ knowledge of:

​

  • How to Start a Business

  • Market Research and Competitive Analysis

  • Product Development

  • Marketing Strategies

  • Building an Online Presence

  • Leveraging Social Media Networks
