April & May Trainings and Events

Upcoming Trainings and Events

Starting on April 29, we will begin another session of Ice House Entrepreneurship Program. A 10-session course, Ice House combines classroom and online coursework to teach 8 essentials of an entrepreneurial mindset using the business canvass process to inspire and engage participants. Hearing from unlikely yet successful entrepreneurs, participants will learn to evaluate business opportunities from a practical method inspired by the life story of Clifton Taulbert.

Apply online. Scholarships are available for qualified applicants.
