Jumpstart Your Business
 
The MEED Center is offering a new business training program in conjunction with the Texas Workforce Commission. This program begins with a half day long comprehensive workshop designed to help you jumpstart your business whether you are a start-up looking for a good foundation, or an ongoing enterprise looking for some support.
 
After the workshop, you will receive unlimited support from the MEED Center to implement what you have learned. Refreshments will be served during the workshop.
