Vermont Cheese Council Business Miniversity

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The Business Miniversity is similar to an “introduction to business” course, hitting on leadership, management, finances and margins, strategy, and marketing topics. Sessions are designed for you to walk away with actionable information about managing a team or running a business. Group size is small and personal; you’ll be able to have conversation and Q&A with presenters (and other attendees!) in every session.

WHO IS THIS FOR:

• Suitable for new (or up-and-coming) business owners and managers – or those who have managed businesses for a while, but want to continue to build their skillsets!
• Content is designed for cheese producers, value-added food producers, and specialty food retail in particular.
• Their attendees have included business owners, managers, team leaders, and those aspiring to management. Others have attended in preparation for launching their own new businesses.
• Although they have many speakers from Vermont, presenters will share information applicable to those outside of the state.

VIRTUAL & RECORDED: All sessions are virtual, and open to attendees from any location. Every session will be recorded and available for watching later for a limited time, in case you have to miss sessions.

DATES/TIMES: Sessions are scheduled on Wednesdays from 12:00 – 1:30 PM ET over 9 weeks, March 5 – April 30, 2025.
