These professors will cover topics such as: business strategy, sales and marketing, talent management and small business finance. Each participating business owner will also receive coaching and mentoring from industry experts from diverse backgrounds. Participants graduate from ICCC with a clearer understanding of their growth plan, custom solutions to their unique business challenges, and a new network of peers, mentors, and capital providers.
