If you’re the founder of a startup, small business or nonprofit, you may be able to get some free technical management assistance from students in the College of Business at Sac State. The Center for Small Business (CSB) offers free technical management assistance in all areas of business other than taxation, law, and loan packaging, to small for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. The services are provided by juniors, seniors, and graduate students under faculty supervision. These students are assigned to work with clients of the CSB as part of their coursework in various classes offered by the College of Business. They are currently seeking new projects for the Fall 2022 semester.
Find out how to get your project on the list in an information session happening this Wednesday, June 29, at 1:00 PM on Zoom. Learn more about the free project services offered by the Center for Small Business and how to attend the info session here.
