Empowering 50 Graduates Through ICON CDC'S Entrepreneur Training Program

On February 24, 2026, ICON CDC proudly celebrated the graduation of 50 entrepreneurs from our Entrepreneur Training Program, marking the completion of an intensive 8 week journey toward business ownership. The room was filled with proud smiles, laughter, and meaningful moments as graduates celebrated this milestone alongside their friends and family.

Throughout the program, participants received step by step guidance on refining their business ideas, identifying market opportunities, navigating permits and licenses, managing bookkeeping, building marketing strategies, improving credit, and preparing for access to capital. The curriculum is designed to equip aspiring entrepreneurs with both the technical knowledge and confidence needed to launch and sustain a successful business.

As a result of their dedication and commitment, these 50 graduates are now prepared to strengthen their ventures and contribute to the growth of our local economy. ICON CDC remains proud to stand beside them as they continue building their businesses.

A new session of the Entrepreneur Training Program begins March 11. If you are ready to take the next step in your entrepreneurial journey, you can learn more and apply at https://www.iconcdc.org/services/entrepreneur-training-program.
