Set Up Shop: Plan It!
Ready to start or expand your business? Our Set Up Shop: Plan It! training program provides the tools you need to grow, and ongoing resources to help your continued success.
We offer comprehensive, personalized training for new or growing entrepreneurs. Our training is provided in cohorts of 10-15 people over the course of 7 sessions. Each session features a different topic, including business strategy, operations, marketing, financials, and more, all taught through classes and workshops by our experienced staff and industry professionals.
Course content and pace are customized to each group's needs. We've graduated 18 cohorts since the program began in 2017, led by ACLT staff and partners including The Business Boutique, Alaska Literacy Program, the Polynesian Association of Alaska, and Alaska Growth Capital.
