Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program

JobsOhio is partnering with Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses to support small business entrepreneurial growth in Ohio. Through this partnership, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses will leverage JobsOhio partnerships and programs to connect entrepreneurs throughout the state to 10,000 Small Businesses.

10,000 Small Businesses is a free business education program that provides small business owners with practical skills to take their business to the next level, with topics like financial statements, negotiations, and marketing. It works with several community and technical colleges across the state to deliver the program locally, including Cuyahoga Community College, Columbus State Community College, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, and Sinclair Community College.

Nationally, over 13,600+ businesses have graduated from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, over 1,000 from Ohio, who in aggregate represent over $1.3 billion in revenue and employ over 16,600 people. In just 6 months after completing the program, 66% of alumni report increases in revenues and 44% report creating new jobs. As 10KSB graduates are seeking access to capital, this partnership positions them well for additional resources including the JobsOhio Small Business Development Grant or other programs offered through the Ohio Department of Development.
