Powering Small Businesses in Emerging Transportation Markets
The comprehensive Pathways to Entrepreneurship Program has three pillars or “pathways” to entrepreneurship designed for Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and HBCU students. The one-day pilot Program experience is an overview of the Pathways to Entrepreneurship Program and will feature highlights of the six-month pilot program for small disadvantaged businesses.
The Pathways to Entrepreneurship program is created to empower small disadvantaged businesses seeking to pivot into new and emerging transportation markets; engage HBCU institutions, and educate aspiring HBCU students with an entrepreneurial mindset eager to explore new transportation markets and help them consider transportation career options upon graduation.
Our ultimate Pathways to Entrepreneurship Program goal is to provide participants with the knowledge, skills, and resources to navigate cutting-edge technology markets and contribute to wealth-building in underserved communities.
