Entrepreneur Network -- Bringing entrepreneurs together for success
The EN was organized by York Technical College in 2007 to assist, inform and encourage local small business owners, entrepreneurs, and potential entrepreneurs to network, share experiences with others, and engage in valuable educational opportunities.
Technology Tuesdays, Research Thursdays, and Lunch and Learn Sessions
We have lots of new opportunities for small business owners to gain some new skills. Technology Tuesdays will be hands-on workshops where participants will learn to use a software for various business needs. Research Thursdays will be interactive sessions where business owners learn where to go to find various types of information that will help them with their business. Lunch and Learn sessions will be a short presentation on business topics and will include a box lunch and bottled water. These workshops and sessions will require a nominal charge.
