Community Economic Pathways shows you the path — but you have to walk it.

At Community Economic Pathways, our goal is to help individuals turn their skills, experience, and interests into real business opportunities.

As part of this mission, we offer free introductory workshops and Zoom training sessions designed to teach the basic steps required to start a business.

During these sessions, participants will learn how to:

• Identify the type of business they want to start
• Understand the steps required to legally establish a business
• Learn how to register an LLC with the state
• Obtain an EIN (Employer Identification Number)
• Open a business bank account
• Understand basic licenses and insurance requirements

Our workshops and free Zoom sessions are designed to teach and guide participants through the process of setting up their business, so they understand what steps to take and how to get started properly.

Participants will be shown the process step-by-step and provided with the information needed to complete their business setup.

How Our Training Works

The introductory workshops and basic startup guidance will continue to be offered to the community; however, an RSVP is required to attend. Please visit our website to view upcoming in-person workshops and Zoom sessions.

Community Economic Pathways was created to provide practical knowledge, real-world experience, and accessible guidance so that more people can build businesses and create opportunities for themselves and their families.

Community Economic Pathways provides educational workshops, training sessions, and resources designed to help individuals learn how to start and grow a business.
The information shared is based on practical knowledge and real-world experience.

Participation in our workshops or training programs does not guarantee business success, income, contracts, or employment opportunities. Building a successful business requires individual effort, sound decision-making, and consistent follow-through.

Each participant is responsible for applying the information provided, completing the necessary steps to establish and operate their business, and seeking professional advice when appropriate.

Community Economic Pathways is committed to providing guidance, training, and resources; however, meaningful results depend on the participant’s willingness to take action and put in the work required to move their business forward.
