The Edge Connection
MISSION
The Edge Connection seeks to promote economic self-sufficiency and self-determination through comprehensive entrepreneurial training targeting low-to-moderate-income women, minorities, and veterans. As a nationally recognized entrepreneurial training center, we target low-to moderate-income individuals desiring to launch, sustain, or grow a micro or small business. We reach out to women and men who are unemployed and underemployed. We teach our clients the skills to become self-sufficient by teaching them how to own and operate sustainable businesses that create employment for themselves and others.
