Using Googles Digital Skills for Small Business Participants will learn how to collect the necessary information on their community, customers and competition in order to write a business plan. Using that information we will learn how to write a business and a financial plan that will determine how much it will cost to start the business. The financial plan will also estimate revenue and profit, giving participants an idea as to whether the business will be profitable.

Workshop dates are Wednesdays March 4 and 18 at 7pm. Participants may come to one or both.  Workshop attendees will have access to the Google Digital Skills lessons 24/7 online once they receive their code in class. Registration opens on Monday, February 10, and is free.

The American Library Association (ALA) announced that Hasbrouck Heights Free Public Library is selected to participate in Libraries Lead with Digital Skills, an initiative of ALA and the Public Library Association (PLA.) It is sponsored by Grow With Google, the tech company’s economic opportunity initiative.
