Purpose: WNET is a national mentoring and training initiative
of the U.S. Small Business Administration administered in Utah through a partnership with the Women’s Business Institute at Salt Lake Community College and the Women’s Business Center at the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce.  The goal of the WNET program is to train participants in professional skills that promote positive and profitable business development.  Through WNET, women entrepreneurs just starting out are matched with experienced women entrepreneurs based upon their needs.  Participants will meet once a month as a group to network, listen to a speaker(s) on a designated topic, and
meet one-on-one with their mentor.

Cost: $120 for six sessions (includes mentoring).  Payment is due at the first session.
Schedule:  During this six month session, we will focus on six skills that often pose the biggest challenge for women entrepreneurs.  More information on the specific session and speaker will be available one week prior to the session.
