Business Workshops

NOTICE:

AF offers all resources at no cost to those who commit to using them.

The two-day business workshops go beyond our one-day business seminars by focusing on a single area of business content with two seasoned instructors. Instead of lectures and a large audience, workshops utilize the classroom approach, limiting the size to 30 students or less. Workshops offered include Human Resources, Business Planning, Business Succession, Marketing, and Accounting.
