The Launch Dayton Business Toolkit offers a series of free online courses to help you build and grow your business.

  • you’re a self-starter who prefers to work at your own pace, on your own schedule
  • you’re building your business in the odd blocks of time between your day job and responsibilities at home
  • you’re looking to target a particular skill that you need now rather than working through a full business class curriculum


Once you sign up for the Business Toolkit, select and enroll in the specific courses you want to access the full content.
