SBDC PROGRAMMING IS OFFERED BY UW-MILWAUKEE IN COOPERATION WITH:

The Entrepreneurial Training Program (ETP) offered by the Wisconsin Small Business Development Center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee provides the tools you need for business idea testing and launching your business.

Through instruction, guest speakers and coaching, ETP serves those who are considering starting a business, owners of existing businesses who are struggling to get a handle on all of the details, and those with successful companies that they want to grow.

“The ETP provided a very clear path to starting my own business. I learned the steps that I need to take to reach the next level of my business. This course also prevented me from making some very costly mistakes.”
