Google to coach Black, Latinx small businesses in New Orleans
CityBusiness staff reports//December 16, 2020//
Google has launched a program to train Black and Latinx small businesses in New Orleans in digital skills.
The Grow with Google with Google initiative provides free training through workshops and coaching sessions focused on techniques and tools to reach new customers and succeed online. As part of Google’s commitment to racial equity, the program has expanded to eight new cities, bringing the total up to 20 coaches.
Krystal Hardy Allen, founder and CEO of New Orleans-based K. Allen Consulting, will serve as the Grow with Google Digital Coach for the city.
“As a first generation college graduate, I’m acutely aware of the importance of closing the variety of gaps existent for marginalized communities,” she said in a news release. “The innovative tools and network-building created by this program will be a key lever in advancing racial equity within technology for our city’s Black and LatinX business owners.”
The first free workshop – Connect with Customers and Manage Your Business Remotely – will be held via video conference on Dec. 22.
