Online Business Classes From DCCC
Did you know that the DCCC Small Business Center offers a wealth of free online business classes? Topics range from building a business to growing a business to navigating Covid-19 from a business perspective.
“Everything has changed so much in our world, but the one thing we can do is continue to learn,” said Caroline Moser, president of the Davie County Chamber of Commerce. “We are always so busy with our day to day work we don’t always take the time to look at ways to grow our business or in this case how we overcome our current situation with COVID-19. DCCC Small Business Center has many classes that are free to everyone and all you have to do is simply register. I encourage everyone to stretch their minds, embrace new knowledge and strive to reach new ways to elevate yourself and your business.”
