She will introduce them to the state’s small business assistance programs including the highly successful Small Business Express (EXP), Subsidized Training and Employment (Step Up), and Job Expansion Tax Credit (JET) programs.
Immediately following the Commissioner’s presentation, DECD staff will be available to meet with individual small businesses to discuss the opportunities available to them.
“We have some of the best tools to help small businesses in the country, and in the past two years, we have helped hundreds and hundreds of small business people achieve their goals,” Smith said. “Connecticut has experienced the best two-year record of job growth since the late 1990s, with tens of thousands of private sector jobs created. We’re looking to continue that trend, so we’re coming out to the valley to make it a little easier for local business people to learn about our programs, and meet some of our economic development staff.”
The presentation is being hosted by the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce, and the Connecticut Business and Industry Association is co-sponsoring the event.
