Harlingen, Texas (Jan. 24, 2022) – The Harlingen EDC is once again sponsoring the 7-week business course, Kauffman FastTrac. The UTRGV Entrepreneurship & Commercialization Center-led course is open to up to 10 participants who are currently looking to open or grow their business in Harlingen.

This in-person course will be held once a week every Tuesday beginning April 5 to May 17, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Harlingen EDC office.

The course offers entrepreneurs courses that help them build and strengthen their business plan, access financial and business resources, identify market needs, understand business fundamentals, explore risks and success factors, and more.

The program is instructed by experts who help Kauffman FastTrac participants develop a business concept, determine the viability of the concept, and outline the critical steps to successfully launch their business.
