Albuquerque, NM, March 18, 2020– The University of New Mexico’s Innovation Academy and STC.UNM are offering a special course to help New Mexico business at this critical time for our state’s economic recovery.
During this time of economic uncertainty, many New Mexico small businesses need to build or increase their online presence to offset a decline in retail in-person traffic, as well as grow businesses beyond New Mexico borders.
The UNM online course for the community, New Mexico Small Business Recovery: Take and Expand your Business Online, will teach businesses e-commerce techniques including developing storefronts and driving traffic to your store.
The course is being offered for $17 (the cost to run the program, the UNM Innovation Academy and STC.UNM will not profit from this course) and includes a one-year domain name for your storefront. The 6-week course runs from April 6-May 15.
This course, made possible by a grant from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration called the NM EDA Rainforest University Center is open to anyone in the community and available completely online.
Students will need to be able to access the internet and have a microphone/headset, small video camera or PC camera or tablet/smartphone.
