The Memphis Urban League (Memphis, TN) is beginning another session of NextLevel, a business development program offered in conjunction with the Tennessee Urban League Affiliates, Tennessee Valley Authority and Interise. The purpose of the seven-month program, scheduled to start on April 15, is to support small business owners who wish to efficiently pursue their goals of business growth.

“NextLevel is an enormous opportunity for established business owners in the area to build a roadmap that turns plans into success,” said Tonja Sesley-Baymon, President and CEO of the Memphis Urban League. “We deeply appreciate our community partners, Tennessee Valley Authority and Interise, for their continuous commitment to Memphis entrepreneurs who are ready to take their next steps forward.”

The Training Associates report that more than 80 percent of US employers believe that workers aged 50 and more are “a valuable resource for training and mentoring” and “an important source of institutional knowledge.” During this webinar, attendees will learn the importance of developing a “beginner’s mindset” to learn new skills and tools to thrive in the workplace amongst a diverse workforce.
