The South County Economic Development Council's Young Entrepreneurs Academy
(YEA) program continued to inspire and educate the next generation
of business leaders this week. On Wednesday, May 8th, the YEA students
had the opportunity to learn first-hand from a government representative,
Thomas Lawton, who serves as the District Representative for California
State Senator Steve Padilla.
Lawton provided the aspiring young entrepreneurs with invaluable insights
into navigating the process of applying for various business licenses
and permits. He explained the different requirements and steps involved,
offering the students practical guidance on how to successfully get
their ventures off the ground.
Beyond the technical details, Lawton also emphasized the ways in which
government entities can serve as a resource and partner for new business
owners. He highlighted programs and initiatives designed to support
small businesses, including financing options, mentorship opportunities,
workshops and community events. The students were eager to learn
how they could leverage these public sector tools to help turn their
entrepreneurial dreams into reality.
