"Say you wanted to start a business you might not be interested in the bookkeeping or reading a financial statement. That's a whole other job. That's what we try to do," he explained.
"TSBDC also offers free small business workshops. Go to tsbdc.org for all of our upcoming workshops," said Alexander.
There are two sects to continuing education: learning for the sake of gaining skills, and learning for the sake of business improvement.
