- Pre-assessment to determine where client should be, i.e. training, one-on-one counseling, referral elsewhere.
- Counseling services, i.e. research, development of financial projections.
- Post closing survey of clients - 60 and 90 day intervals
In order for the intern to effectively assist an SBDC counselor, a minimum of 10 hours and a maximum of 30 hours a week of
