SCORE – Chicagoland Area Counselor’s to America’s Small Business

The Business & Career Institute welcomes SCORE to our Oak Forest Center.

SCORE (Service Corp of Retired Executives) is an organization made up of business experts who know first-hand about the demands of new business development. It provides workshops, mentoring and consulting to small businesses. SCORE experts volunteer their time to help people who are thinking of going into business and need help to make it happen!

Mentoring

The SCORE business expert who comes to the Oak Forest Center will help you by serving as a sounding board, create and implement a plan, and answer questions about a wide range of concerns.

A SCORE volunteer is at our Oak Forest Center on Wednesday mornings by appointment. To learn more or to register for a mentoring session go to their website, SCOREchicago.org.
