Free Business Training and Education for Talbot County’s Small Businesses
The Talbot Works Business Academy launched in 2024, and provides Talbot County small business owners with this free, 8-week entrepreneurship course sponsored by the Talbot County Department of Economic Development and Tourism.
The program is made possible by a grant from the Maryland Rural Economic Development Fund through the Mid-Shore Regional Council and developed by consulting firm WHC, a Baltimore-based consulting company offering business capital, coaching, and operational solutions to emerging companies.
Each cohort is limited to 15 participants who are required to meet the program’s guidelines for inclusion in the class, including having the ability to scale their operations, hire people, and have a positive impact on their community.
Participants are required to attend and participate in each class; submit weekly homework assignments; meet with senior advisors; meet two times each with the program’s law, accounting, and human resources mentors; present cash flow projections; and give a final 15-minute PowerPoint presentation detailing their plans for business growth.
