Case Study: Chamber of commerce
A Chamber of Commerce pairs quarterly 3 hour workshops with ongoing access to Outgrow Your Garage courses. The workshops focus on building long term business systems, and managing issues such as seasonal cash flow, hiring needs, and future planning. Between workshops, entrepreneurs work through courses to build specific skills.
The quarterly event format alternates with other chamber events, creating regular opportunities for member connection.
Case Study: Industry Association
A state-wide landscaping industry association hosts 12 virtual workshops each year, focusing on member-requested topics. These workshops are offered in English and Spanish, allowing the organization to meet the needs of their members and uphold their value of equitable programming. Partnering with Outgrow Your Garage allows staff to create additional touch points and learning opportunities with members between their annual conference.
Case Study: Main Street Organization
A rural Main Street organization for a town of 5,000 hosts a mix of in-person and virtual workshops focused on building technical and financial skills in their local community. Topics range from software evaluation to seasonal cash flow management, and are scheduled around main street busy times and seasons. Through these workshops, the main street organization can support the overall growth and resiliency of their community without increasing staff responsibilities.
