"By the end of those core classes, you should be able to have at least the format and the framework for a business plan," said Winnie Siclait, programs manager at BPL's Business and Career Center.
George Constantinou, co-owner of Bogota Latin Bistro, reflects on the PowerUP competition, saying, 'I was just a hungry student, and there really was a lot of hand-holding. There were classes, there were seminars, there were a lot of professionals that got involved.'
Library leaders say the program mentored more than 10,000 people and helped launch more than 100 companies over the past two decades.
Past winners of PowerUP competition, like George Constantinou, emphasize how the program provided them with essential guidance and support to translate their business ideas into reality.
