Spanish Self-Employment Training (SSET)

WEV’s Women’s Business Center offers a comprehensive 10 week Spanish Self-Employment Training (SSET) program that is targeted to women (also serves men), and provides guidance on how to start, operate or expand a business. Participants leave the course with a complete business plan including a marketing plan, a cash flow projection, an operations plan, and a core network to help sustain the business.  The program provides week-by-week training on topics including finances, marketing and sales, public relations and advertising, legal and insurance issues, record keeping, and how to write a business plan.  After the 10 week course, WEV SSET graduates emerge with the most important tools and resources they need to start a new business or grow their current business.

WEV has provided entrepreneurial training to nearly 4,000 women, loaned more than $2 million to local businesses, and has created an average of 300 jobs in the community each year.
