The WAND Program offers entrepreneur strategies to emerging business owners, who need “hands on” technical support and tools to position their business for success and sustainability.
Our workforce development programs provide 21st Century job search skills to those with barriers to employment, including, individuals seeking to navigate the job market, identify transferable skills and re-brand themselves for new and current employment opportunities. Thanks to our partnership with Wilmington Alliance, Wilmington city residents may be eligible to receive a $400 stipend per person upon completion of YW Strive or Workability Workshops.
WAND uses a wrap-around Care-Team approach to ensure participants receive additional resources as needed while in our programs or during periodic check-ins after graduation, used to support further those we serve.
WAND offers complimentary business development, advisory, technical and one- on-one counseling for aspiring business owners or those who are already in business. Email WAND@ywcade.org to take advantage of your FREE business consultation today!
