The Alle Kiski Strong Chamber Young Entrepreneur Program begins at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, October 14, 2015, with a “kick-off” session in the chamber office, 308 Pittsburgh Mills Circle, at the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills. Juniors and Seniors during the 2015-2016 academic year from school districts around the region are invited to attend.
Classes will be scheduled two Wednesdays per month in October, November and December. The Entrepreneur Program facilitators are: Cyril Haponski, a Lenape Tech entrepreneurship instructor, and Dan Boylstein, a financial professional with Snyder Associated companies and a small business owner. Results of the program include the development of a business plan, establishment of a small business, and promoting that business during the AK Strong Home Show in February, 2016.
Each program participant will receive up to $300 to be used for the “start-up” of their company. Chamber members will have the chance to be speakers, mentors and/or advisors. This program will enable AK Strong to strengthen the relationship between our local school districts and businesses while simultaneously promoting job creation and economic development through an investment in our youth.
The registration deadline is October 8, 2015. To register or for more information, please call the Chamber Office at 724-224-3400 or email the Chamber at staff@akstrong.com.
