Savannah Technical College’s Professional Continuing Education department and SCORE have created free weekly business survival webinar workshops to support area businesses starting May 22.

SCORE mentors and STC faculty and staff will lead workshops, which were created in an effort to help Savannah’s small business community deal with the serious challenges created by the Coronavirus crisis.

“We are proud to have our Savannah SCORE Business Mentors partner with the Savannah Tech faculty and staff to bring this series of webinars to our community,” said Certified Mentor and Chapter Chair for Savannah SCORE Michael Siegel. “This co-sponsored program is a great example of SCORE and STC’s shared commitment to support our local small businesses, especially during this incredibly challenging time.”

The one-hour workshops will be held at 1 p.m. on Fridays. Advance registration is required at https://www.savannahtech.edu/free-business-workshops/ Free sessions include:
