Article 4: Small Business Training Network
The Small Business Training Network is an online portal providing free training courses, workshops and resources. They’re all networked together so that related areas and subjects can be easily accessed. You can find it here: http://www.sba.gov/training/
The training network is a Web-based business management resource. At any time you can tap into online courses, colleges and universities through its dynamic learning center. The up-to-date competitive information helps you keep pace with the constantly changing and increasingly global business environment.
The network also conducts face-to-face national training events in local communities for free or at nominal cost. Training includes step-by-step instruction in how to develop a business plan as a roadmap to growth and profit. Find a training event in your area here: http://www.sba.gov/calendar/
A vast Internet library is accessible through the Small Business Training Network. It features more than 200 SBA publications and links to more than 3,700 outside small business resources, such as INC, Time and Fast Company magazines. The library also connects to Web sites for many newspapers, including the Washington Post, for up-to-the-minute business coverage.
The Service Corps of Retired Executive’s (SCORE) Learning Center also is accessible through the network’s Web site for:
Specialty articles on business startup advice Online access to forms for everything from balance sheet and income statement templates to requests for disaster or technical assistance IRS forms, including forms to fill out for a free transcript of your lost tax returns
As you would expect, a U.S. government resource wouldn’t be complete without links to virtually every other federal government reading room, from the White House to the Library of Congress.
