This is a basic, foundational workshop series for individuals with limited business experience or knowledge who are either considering starting a business or have just started one. It is intended for individuals with a variety of educational backgrounds from some schooling to high school graduates, vocational degree holders or some college who would consider starting a micro-enterprise.

This workshop series aims to provide knowledge and skills and to increase self-confidence in being a more effective entrepreneur and customer.

Marketplace Literacy uses a unique bottom-up approach and focuses on understanding or knowing the “why” about the marketplace. By delving into the why behind marketplaces you'll gain a deeper understanding of your customers and business. Our educational programs have reached more than 100,000 individuals in four continents, including thousands in the state of Illinois. 

Join us and learn to:
-Become a more effective customer or entrepreneur
-Identify untapped opportunities
-Build strong customer relationships
-Navigate marketplaces
-Develop a sustainable business model

At the end of the workshop series, participants are typically better customers and may begin to consider some form of entrepreneurship or expand an existing enterprise.
