Some of the most dedicated entrepreneurs are the professionals who have chosen to take their talents directly to their audience. These individuals and their firms are in as great a need for professional development as their corporate counterparts. What they truly need is development that is rooted in the real world of small business. This is where OED's P3 steps in.

The Professional Practice Programs (P3) are designed to assist professionals who support entrepreneurs and small businesses to develop, grow, and improve their own practices. By providing professionals with the training and tools to succeed themselves, OED helps to further its mission of making resources available in support of entrepreneurship.

The first set of programs in the P3 series is a variety of practice development courses tailored to specific professions (e.g., independent consultants, financial advisors, business coaches).
