Certification Course

A great welcome to the new GrowthWheel Certified Advisors in Columbus

On June 9-10 we visited Columbus, OH for another Certification Course. This course was evenly split between new advisors coming in for a certification and advisors coming in for a re-certification. Ohio SBDC is ramping up - adding another 10 advisors, and the state now has 41 GrowthWheel Certified Advisors in the SBDC network.

GrowthWheel in Mexico for the first time

On April 26-27 we had a Certification Course in Mexico for the first time ever. In partnership with SEDECO, 17 new advisors got certified in the state of Campeche.

With help from the skilled interpreter Abner Anaya Mejía and his colleague Rodrigo Rodriquez González, the Spanish version of the GrowthWheel Toolbox and the Online Platform were presented.

There was a very strong commitment from many stakeholders in Campeche, and we welcome all the new Certified Advisors from  Gobierno Del Estado De Campeche, Secretaria De Desarrollo Economico and MPM Group to our GrowthWheel Community.
