Business Community Listening Session For Trenton Business Owners

At New Jersey's Small Business Development Center at The College of New Jersey (NJSBDC), we believe that the most effective business programs begin by listening to the people they are designed to serve, YOU, our local business owners.

We are inviting business owners throughout Trenton and the surrounding communities to participate in a Business Community Listening Session, where we want to hear directly from you about your business needs, challenges, and opportunities for growth.

We want to hear from you:

What are the biggest challenges facing your business today?
What resources or assistance would help your business grow?
What types of training, workshops, or technical assistance would be most valuable?
What barriers are preventing your business from reaching its full potential?
How can the SBDC better support Trenton’s business community?

Your feedback will help us identify priorities and shape future programs, resources, and services designed to meet the needs of our local business community.
