Center helps launch small businesses: UTPB offers free seminars and career counseling

Ever since Todd Brown learned how to cook at 14, he dreamed of opening a barbecue joint.
"Cooking is my No. 1 passion," he said.
Brown's very own father mastered the art and spent years teaching his secrets to his son. It proved to be a challenge, one that Brown needed help with. He soon looked to the free workshops offered by UTPB for help to build his dream.
With the growing economy in the Odessa area, and booming population, it's no wonder that business seminars are in demand.

With small businesses representing 99.7 percent of all U.S. firms, they generated 60 percent to 80 percent of new jobs in the last decade, and employ half of the private sector jobs.

Last month, in response to the devastating news that DHL could outsource thousands of jobs from the Wilmington Air Park in Clinton County to Kentucky, I joined a task force of federal, state and local officials, as well as several business and community leaders, hoping to influence the company's decision and assist the surrounding community with future economic development efforts.
