SCORE is a resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Workshops
SCORE is different from other organizations because we offer executives with a wealth of expertise and experience in many industry segments. Workshop presenters are SCORE counselors who have achieved success in their field and now, as volunteers, want to help you do the same.

We strongly recommend you take certificate workshops in the order that they are given, because material is cumulative. However, you can take them over several months.
Workshops are often team-taught, so you learn from several with different strengths. Occasionally, business professionals like bankers, lawyers, insurance agents, franchise and international trade executives offer their expertise as well.
