FastTract®First StepTM
The goal of the FastTrac® First StepTM entrepreneurial training program is to support the vision of self-employment as an alternative choice to public assistance or minimum wage employment. A partnership between the Entrepreneurial Education Foundation and the First Step Fund in Kansas City, MO developed the FastTrac® First StepTM training curriculum and materials.
The specially designed program emphasizes entry strategies for start-up ventures through nine weeks and 32 hours of business training. Entrepreneurs identify business opportunities, research the market, expand business concepts, develop a break-even analysis, prepare financial forecasts and learn how to launch new ventures and develop feasibility plans.
Each Administrator sets the locations, dates and tuition for their programs. Interested parties should contact the Administrator closest to him for the dates of the next FastTrac® class. Cost will vary from location to location due to the costs required to deliver the program at a particular site. The approximate per student costs range from $400 - $600 per class.
Because of assistance provided by ECD and local administrators the charges to participants will be significantly less. Nonetheless, it is expected that all participants make a financial commitment to the program prior to registering.
