WBDC
Description edit
The Women's Business Development Center (WBDC) is a 501 © 3 non-profit micro-enterprise development organization whose goal is to increase economic independence for women. This is accomplished through Small Business and Professional Development Training-specifically, small business and micro-enterprise training, career assistance, networking, and access to applicable resources.
The main motivation of a WBDC client is to improve their life and their family's lives. WBDC assesses each individual to determine if they are suited to pursue Entrepreneurial Training or, Professional Development (The Yellow Door). Once the specific path is agreed upon with the client, a strategic program of services and counseling is recommended by WBDC.
Although the cost of WBDC programs and services are well below the national average, many economically challenged clients cannot afford to pay for services. Women from low and moderate-income communities can especially benefit from training and technical assistance to make the mainstream business world more accessible. WBDC offers a scholarship program because it is committed to serving women who are socially and or economically disadvantaged. For a majority of these clients, having the financial assistance to benefit from a WBDC service is the first and possibly only glimmer of hope for their financial future.
