Free Skills Training: Build Your Business Plan. Budget with Joy.

Verizon Small Business Digital Ready provides exclusive networking opportunities and digital skills training, from courses to live coaching sessions to personalized learning plans. The program also provides $10,000 small business grants at certain times of the year, with the latest round of grants now open for applications until Dec. 13, 2024.

In addition to its $10,000 small business grants program, Verizon Small Business Digital Ready is for the first time this year introducing a Digital Ready Superfan Promotion. The Superfan Promotion will award $25,000 in cash to three small business owners. Plus, Verizon will invite these grantees to take part in a special small business event during February’s Super Bowl LIX Week and provide Super Bowl LIX tickets, airfare, and accommodations for the business owner and one guest.

Interested? If you have not yet joined the Digital Ready program (it’s free and easy), you can do that here. That’s your first step.

Even if you don’t secure a grant, joining Digital Ready is a smart investment in your future. The real value of Verizon Small Business Digital Ready lies in the tools and resources the program provides small businesses so they can thrive in today’s digital economy.

These events and courses are for the weeks of Nov. 17 and Nov. 24. They are just a sample of the program’s benefits.
