The BMCC Office of Internships and Experiential Learning and Equitunity, a public charity, invite students to participate in an Entrepreneurial Economics Workshop Series. The workshop series provides hands-on training and guidance on the process for starting up small community cooperative enterprises in one of New York City’s ten most impoverished communities.
There will be eight workshops in the series, each one hour long, held bi-weekly beginning the week of November 8 and ending on December 10. On completion of the entire workshop series, up to three proposed community cooperative enterprises will have the opportunity to receive seed funding and incubate their project with support from Equitunity.
All BMCC students are invited to register (here) for the workshop series. Registration ends on November 5. The workshop series will take place via Zoom and space is limited to 25 students.
If you want to pick your partners, invite your colleagues to register with you.
If you have any questions about this event, please contact Sharon Reid at sreid@bmcc.cuny.edu or William Franklin at equitunity@gmail.com.
