Working with partners, SBDCs deliver no-cost management advising and training to existing and aspiring business owners. The CCSBDC is hosted by the WDB and part of the Northern California Region, with a lead center at California State University, Humboldt.

One of the important functions of the WDB is to ensure that its investments and services are aligned with market demand. One of the core approaches to supporting this work is through sector strategies, which are designed to address the needs of specific industry sectors within regional economies and labor markets.

OurTinyPlanet, LLC will increase the amount of services delivered as a small business development advisor/trainer and increase the amount of time in the organizationl of the advanced manufacturing sector strategy.

Existing and aspiring business owners in Contra Costa County will not have access to no-cost business development training and advising.
