This is Marty Carpenter of the Salt Lake Chamber with your Utah Business Report.
33 small business owners recently graduated from Utah's inaugural Goldman Sachs 10-Thousand Small Businesses program.
Eleven sessions and more than one hundred hours of training from Salt Lake Community College supported business growth by boosting operations and creating job opportunities.
Over the last five months, the business owners who participated created more than 100 jobs.
Businesses ranging in industries participated and 17 of the 33 were women-owned, which is the largest group of women that have participated in a single cohort since the program launched in 2009.
10-Thousand Small Businesses is a 500-million dollar investment that gives entrepreneurs greater access to education, financial capital and business support services. More than 13-hundred businesses have participated nationwide.
