What is the FETP?
Financial Empowerment Training Program (FETP)
The purpose of the Financial Empowerment Training Program (FETP) is to educate small business owners on the importance of understanding finances, their financial position and how this connects to financing, decision-making, planning, and business longevity.
Through a combination of specialized workshops, one-on-one counseling and assignments that focus directly on your business, the FETP program will help you tackle the financial issues that prevent your business from growing or remaining stable.
If you have not yet been accepted into the program, its not too late. Contact Duane Wadlington to get an assessment to determine whether you qualify for sponsorship into the program.
