Small businesses in Ohio have a new resource to help them grow and flourish. The JobsOhio Small Business Academy, Powered by Aileron, “will support small business owners, presidents and CEOs of small, growing B2B organizations in Ohio who want to improve their leadership skills and grow their companies,” reports Miami Valley Today. The fully sponsored business growth program was announced by Lt. Governor Jon Husted, JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef, and Aileron in a joint press release. In that release, Husted said, “Small businesses are important to local communities because they are innovative and respond more nimbly to local needs – plus, the money spent in small businesses is more likely to benefit the local economy. This program will build more successful small businesses leading to stronger, more prosperous communities across Ohio.”
The 12-month program facilitated by Aileron includes in-person and virtual events. Aileron is “a nonprofit organization founded by late Dayton-area leader and philanthropist Clay Mathile” that “guides business owners to lead thriving businesses by elevating owners, leaders, and teams to build an organization-wide system that creates sustainable change and drives lasting results.” Nauseef said the program “not only empowers small businesses’ ability to expand, it also honors the enduring legacy of Clay Mathile, whose bold, visionary and unselfish commitment to Ohio’s economic growth continues to positively impact communities statewide.” For more, read the full article and the full press release.
