Request for Proposal/Qualifications
CO.STARTERS Program Facilitator
The Northeastern Vermont Development Association (NVDA) is seeking qualified candidates to serve as Facilitators for the CO.STARTERS Core Program, an intensive, cohort-based entrepreneurship development program designed to equip local entrepreneurs with the tools, mindset, and support network necessary for success. Small business growth is essential to long-term economic resilience in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, and entrepreneurship plays a critical role in creating stable jobs, diversifying the local economy, fostering community pride, and generating sustainable economic opportunity. NVDA, together with Do North Coworking, has helped deliver several successful cohorts of the CO.STARTERS program in recent years. To further expand this impact, NVDA and Do North Coworking are again partnering with CO.STARTERS, a globally recognized entrepreneurship support model, to offer programming that helps founders test assumptions, refine business models, and build strong foundations for new or growing ventures.
NVDA is currently seeking experienced, community-minded business owners or entrepreneurial leaders to serve as trained facilitators for upcoming CO.STARTERS cohorts in multiple locations throughout Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom.
