Eau Claire hosts Wisconsin Small Business Academy

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) – Small business owners in western Wisconsin had the chance to grow and network today.

The Wisconsin Small Business Academy took place at 11 places around the state, including at the Pablo Center.

It’s a four-day event that wrapped up with a half-day program this morning.

Organizers said the program focuses on providing the region’s entrepreneurs an opportunity to connect with financial and technical resource providers.

“For small businesses, knowing your resources is really going to help them succeed, because oftentimes starting a small business is really stressful, challenging and there’s a lot of things you don’t know, so that’s where knowing your resources is really valuable,” said Harlie Juedes, Interim Director of the Small Business Development Center.

Organizers said around 50 people attended today’s in-person session and there are more virtual sessions throughout the week.
