The Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship at Florida State University’s College of Business is accepting applications through Sept. 30 for its Small Business Executive Program and Nonprofit Executive Program in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
The Small Business Executive Program, offered at no cost to participants, provides valuable training to leaders of small businesses. Executives will receive a world-class learning experience that equips them with strategies to turn challenges into strategic advantages. Some of South Florida’s most accomplished entrepreneurship experts, business consultants and leaders will offer their expertise in training sessions.
The Nonprofit Executive Program is also free. It’s designed to work specifically with nonprofit executives to teach them valuable skills on assessing an organization, recognizing and acting on opportunities and managing daily operations. In addition, the program creates a continuing partnership with the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship. Participants can rely on that network of experts for advice and support.
To apply, visit jimmoraninstitute.org and click on “Programs.” The sessions are open to executives who have been actively operating a business or nonprofit organization that’s been in existence at least three years and has three or more employees. Both programs are offered twice a year; 25 applicants are accepted per session.
The Broward Spring 2018 SBEP and NPEP will kick off with an orientation and opening reception Jan. 22. The SBEP’s first training session will start the following day and the NPEP will begin Jan. 24. Each program provides nine sessions. They will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at various Broward County locations every other week through May 15.

Participants are also invited to workshops, conferences and other events hosted by the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship.
