Carson City Library partners with Google, Nevada Sen. Cortez Masto on behalf of small business
Last week the Carson City Library and Google co-hosted an online workshop for the state’s small businesses including the Nevada Small Business Development Center and the Connected Commerce Council for Nevada.
Also promoted by the Carson City Chamber of Commerce, the event was part of Google’s "Grow with Google" initiative, which aims to provide people with free resources to grow their digital skills. U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto participated in the online session as well — discussing the importance of digital skills in Nevada and encouraging attendees.
“Life today for small business owners and entrepreneurs alike makes events like this, its tips and tools presented, absolutely crucial,” said Vanna Bells, librarian at Carson City Library. “From loan options and assistance programs to the multitude of resources and expertise, this was a must and we’re so glad it was such a success with a full turn-out and interactive experience.”
‘Grow with Google’ focuses on creating economic opportunity in communities throughout the country by offering free training, solutions and advice for people to grow their knowledge, skills, careers and businesses.
“Google has been a fantastic partner in this effort, an easy and robust resource along with stellar representatives,” said Maria Klesta, creative learning manager at Carson City Library. “And the information explored is for online, quick and timely paths, key during so much uncertainty.”
The workshop, “Connect with Customers and Manage Your Business Remotely,” shared ways to help entrepreneurs manage their business during a crisis. Topics ranged from how to update critical business information online to best practices for virtual meetings and events.
