Starting in May 2024, Chameleon will offer a new workforce development opportunity for shop-owners, vendors, and partners across Minneapolis. This six-session workshop series will cover a wide range of topics relevant to small business owners, from continuity planning to brand design. Each session will be two hours, include provided meals, and be hosted in partnership with specialists on each topic. Registrants that attend all six sessions will be entered into a raffle for a small capital-improvement grant!
A special thanks to our sponsor, Wells Fargo, for your commitment to small businesses and downtown Minneapolis.
