ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Financial Empowerment Training Program (FETP) is designed to help small business owners address these questions. The program:
- gives small business owners a better understanding of their finances and financial position
- helps apply this understanding to their businesses through workshops and counseling
PROGRAM CONTENT

Counseling to help you apply what you learned to your business
FETP Graduation Exam
Graduation Exam
We encourage all participants to take the graduation exam at the end to assess and reinforce what they have learned in the workshops. All who pass will be invited to a graduation ceremony, and selected graduates will have the opportunity to pitch their business concept to a group of angel investors at the Asian American Business Expo on August 13.
