The latest cohort of the City of Atlantic City’s Small Business Academy graduated 27 Atlantic City residents who completed the free eight-week program, which teaches participants how to start and grow a successful business.
Workshops led by industry experts educated participants on topics such as the ABC’s of starting a small business, writing a business plan, setting goals, marketing and more.
At the end of the cohort, participants pitched their business ideas to local professionals who offered feedback before scoring the pitches.
The winner of the pitch competition with the highest score was Tabriah Taylor, who wants to grow her catering business.
Her prize was a $15,000 grant from Atlantic City’s Inlet Community Development Corporation (CDC) to help her achieve her dream.
