The Greene County MULTI Grant Program requires all applicants to complete a four-week training series designed to strengthen key entrepreneurial development skills. For this year’s program, Greene County will be conducting the full training series, following a newly developed schedule created specifically for the upcoming grant cycle. All sessions will be offered virtually via Zoom for participant convenience.

Prequalified applicants will receive direct communication from Greene County with complete course details and Zoom login instructions. Attendance at all four sessions is mandatory to satisfy the program requirements. Upon successful completion of the full series, participants will be issued a Certificate of Completion, which must be included as a required exhibit in their MULTI Grant application.
