Virtual Business Advisor (VBA) Job at Babson College
The 10,000 Small Businesses initiative is part of a national investment to unlock the growth and job creation potential of small businesses and is based on the broadly held view of leading experts that a combination of education, business support services, and access to capital best addresses the barriers to growth for small businesses.
The 10,000 Small Businesses program is comprised of three main components: business education, business support services (technical assistance, and group and one-on-one business growth coaching) and the opportunity to access capital. The ultimate goal of the initiative is for the participating business owners to increase their revenues and create jobs in their hometown and surrounding areas. Through the support of the Goldman Sachs Foundation, each business owner that is selected to participate in the program will receive a scholarship to cover tuition, travel, and program materials.
