Cox Communications and Delgado
Community College are partnering up to host a Small Business Growth Academy,
with the intention of providing education and leadership development to diverse
suppliers in Cox's Southeast region.
The program will be eight weeks and
will seek goals in operational sustainability and improved scalability of
diverse suppliers. Participants will learn valued skills in business management
and other topics such as accounting, organizational performance, and project
management. In addition to this, participants can expect to receive guidance on
how to grow their business.
Vice President Cox's New Orleans
Market Kevin Monroe said, "Cox is committed to inclusion, diversity, and
equity," explaining that those are the company's defining values. Similarly,
Delgado College is dedicated to ridding boundaries in education regarding
economic status or location.
This year, Delgado Community
College celebrates 100 years of service to the New Orleans region as the oldest
and largest community college in the area. Cox seeks to create meaningful
moments of human connection through technology. Cox and Delgado are thrilled to
work together to bring this educational opportunity to the community.
