Put Yourself in a Position of Power
The Workforce Development Board of Solano County and BuildEd have partnered to bring valuable workshops to the community at NO COST. Through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, made possible by Solano County, the WDB continues to bring Solano County residents programs to help learn how to leverage skills, strengthen career pathways, and learn about new opportunities like owning your own business.
Success is important no matter where you are in your career. Identifying value in your life and career will always help increase job performance and prepare you for advancement. It’s time to take ownership of your career path, whether this means moving up the ladder or exploring owning your own business, BuildEd workshops are for you!
The 21st Century Entrepreneurship Workshop
Entrepreneurship is more than just business ownership. It means being the CEO of YOU!
About the workshop
This workshop is for ANYONE and EVERYONE and is designed to provide education and training on how to perform well in the job, retain the job, advance faster, and increase lifetime earnings in the modern economy. BuildEd experts will provide a foundation of understanding and power that will give you the tools to succeed in any situation. From getting jobs, performing well at jobs, advancing, doing freelance work, to starting a business, this puts you in a position of power. You don’t need to be self-employed or interested in starting your own business to get something meaningful out of this workshop. It is designed to motivate and shift your mindset when it comes to taking ownership of your career path.
The workshop is a 6-hour interactive, discussion-based course offered virtually in two formats to help accommodate your schedule.
