The Business Skills for Success (Spanish on Tuesdays, English on Thursdays) is a 5-week accelerated webinar series that is for early-stage and existing business owners who want to take their business to the next level.

During the five-week seminar, the Kutztown University Small Business Development Center will utilize an innovative blended learning model for education. Our model uses, in addition to class lessons, online business plan workshops, one-on-one business consultations, and interaction with business professionals and entrepreneurs. During the first class, participants will also select special topics that they desire to do a deep dive into as a cohort. In the last session, participants will present their pitches to the business consultant. This educational model fortifies the learning capacity of the student and ensures greater entrepreneurial success.

This 5-week class can include the following topics:
• Business Planning
• Defining a Business Model
• Marketing & Sales Growth
• Best Practices for Maintaining Credit Worthiness
• Zoning & Codes
• Financing
• Social Media
• Website Analytics
• Record Keeping
• Special Topics Selected by the Cohort
