The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) launched a free digital e-learning platform geared to help women entrepreneurs grow and expand their businesses. Ascent, a first-of-its-kind, has valuable content such as tips on preparing and recovering from disasters, strategic marketing and business financial strategy development.

Ascent is an initiative by the White House, the SBA, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Women’s Bureau and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The platform is designed to support women entrepreneurs. It’s packed with content, backed by academic research, and resources from each department.

“The Ascent digital learning platform is a practical, user-friendly tool and a one-stop-shop for female entrepreneurs to gain knowledge on how to elevate their business goals, overcome burdensome challenges and grow their existing business,” said Allen Gutierrez, Associate Administrator, Office of Entrepreneurial Development.  “The launch of this useful and timely platform will provide women-owned small businesses the resources they need to start, grow and expand their business.  We hope that you enjoy your journey with Ascent.”
