Look for the Icon!
Courses that are supported by the Main Street Bounceback Technical Assistance Program are accompanied by an icon of the state of Wisconsin throughout this catalog and on our website. These courses range in value from $99 webinars to $300+ full-day courses, so we are grateful to be able to offer these opportunities to you at no cost. Please help us be good stewards of this support by only registering for courses you need and will attend. Excessive absences will result in removal from the program.
