UEDI Information
UEDI, The Urban Entrepreneurs Development Institute, assists prospective and existing business owners in the the Greater Newark area to become economically self-sufficient and to help develop self-employment and capital resources. To accomplish this goal, GNBDC, in conjunction with our partners, offers this coordinated program that consists of providing self-employment assistance, microenterprise training, technical assistance and credit to participants. Classes are delivered in a computer lab so that participants have immediate access to the internet while in class. The class is taught by experienced business people, and the combination of the instructor, guest presenters, and the active participation of the participants leads to an enriching experience that is unmatched. Although financing is not guaranteed, graduates of UEDI are in a stronger position to obtain financing from GNBDC as well as many other financing institutions in the area. Graduates also join a growing network of entrepreneurs, many of whom are sure to achieve great success in the future.
