Access to

Training

With the support of our partners, 4 Access Partners offers unique educational and development opportunities for promising Food Entrepreneurs from underserved communities, at no cost to participants. We are always building and improving our training curriculum to support entrepreneurs. Our expert volunteers compile the most helpful and relevant information, which we then work to deliver to community members through our partnerships with community organizations.

Training Programs for Entrepreneurs

Our training efforts are twofold to maximize our reach. First, our training is aimed at our entrepreneur clients. We conduct this training in one of two ways: in cohort training with other entrepreneurs or via individual support.

Entrepreneurs will fit into one of these training styles depending upon their need and the stage their business is at. Our cohort training is largely done in partnership with local community groups. This training is offered in addition to the expertise our volunteers already offer clients.
