Ongoing Support

For many NDC alumni, the 16-week training program is just the beginning. The real learning, and the critical need for advice and guidance, starts after the business opens.

To serve business owners in all of its communities, NDC provides this assistance in several different languages, including English, Oromo, Somali, Spanish, Amharic and Hmong.

Ongoing support is available in the following areas:

• Restaurant layout, design & management
• Legal assistance
