Who it serves
For Participants and Aspiring Entrepreneurs
This pathway is for people who want to build income, gain business experience, and participate in local markets without having to create an entirely new business from the ground up.
Participants develop transferable skills, learn how markets work, and gain practical experience delivering products or services that already have demonstrated demand. Rather than starting alone, they begin within a supportive ecosystem that helps them learn, contribute, and grow.
