Walsh College in Troy is partnering with the Lansing-based Small Business Association of Michigan (SBAM) Foundation via the Small Business Support Hub Grant Program to offer a variety of educational opportunities to Michigan small businesses.

The Small Business Support Hub Grant Program (SBSH) is administered by the SBAM Foundation and made possible through funding from the Michigan Economic Development Corp. It is designed to offer a comprehensive suite of free programming, courses, events, and support tailored specifically for established businesses.
Through the partnership, Walsh will offer a wide range of bootcamps, workshops, networking events, and other resources through the SBSH Grant Program. Some of the topics for small business programing include:

- Human resources; controlling health care benefit costs
- Sales strategy and sales improvement
- Cybersecurity and information technology

“Our Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship is excited to offer this suite of services, bootcamps, and more to help Michigan small businesses grow to the next level, via our newly launched Business Innovation and Growth Hub,” says Daniel Sem, executive director of the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Walsh. “Besides having access to these workshops, businesses can access fractional experts, consultants, and use our on-site core facilities and associated short-term coworking space. We are eager to help you innovate and grow your business to the next level.”
To qualify for the SBSH Grant Program, businesses must:
- Be registered as a for-profit business
- Have fewer than 500 employees

The program is designed to be accessible to a wide audience including social and economically disadvantaged individuals and those disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, more than 95 percent of applicants meet or exceed program admission requirements.
“We are so excited to be an SBAM Hub Partner and grant program recipient,” says Suzy Siegle, president and CEO of Walsh College. “We are grateful to the SBAM Foundation for collaborating with us to serve the greater Michigan business community.
