Have you ever considered developing your skills and obtaining career advancement? Well, look no further than joining a program such as a cohort or apprenticeship that will give you hands-on skills and knowledge while learning new techniques and meeting like-minded individuals in your industry.

Most programs are for business owners, college students or any kind of business professional from engineering, marketing, tech, finance and many other industries. May be up to 3-6 months or 1-year, some may pay you for your participation, provide college credit to students and others you will have to pay to get into the program.

Keep in mind of the different qualifications, depending on the specific cohort or apprenticeship, such as only target to college students, business executives, type of industry or age group.

A good way to find these programs is to go on LinkedIn, search on Google, network, locate non-profit organizations, go to local state government resources or even consider taking up a trade if there are no options.

When starting in business back in 2019, I joined Lurn, Inc that partnered with Daymond John of FUBU & Shark Tank that helped others to establish their e-commerce business. I found this resource through an ad on social media. Later on I was accepted into ProsperUS Detroit, a local business program provided to Detroit residents to help develop their business plan, obtain business loans and entering into a pitch competition.

I also joined a cohort called Influencership that allowed business women establish their personal brand by building a website and negotiating brand deals with popular or local brands. I was excited to join this cohort after networking with Megan Ward, brand marketing strategist & Detroit native who has been featured in the Huff Post.

Career advancement and business development is out there and available. Something I've been willing to adapt to since youth all the way into adulthood has been either advice or a saying that was told me is to "always be a student & willing to learn," no matter what level you are in within your business or profession.
