Entrepreneurship Training Course

The Spring Entrepreneurial Training Program will be held on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 8:30 pm starting Tuesday, February 27 to April 23, 2024.  The SBDC course will be offered in person at Northcentral Technical College – Antigo Campus.  The Entrepreneurial Training Program (ETP) offered by the Wisconsin Small Business Development Center is a 9-week course providing an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process that shows your for-profit business how to: Answer the question-

  • “Will people buy my product or service?”,
  • How do I appeal to more customers,
  • Develop a lender-ready business plan, and
  • use time, money, and resources wisely. 

Space is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Register for the Entrepreneurial Training Program by clicking here.  To find out more, download the Entrepreneurial Training Program flyer by clicking here.
