JOIN US FOR
NATLESHIPWEEK 2023
February 11-18, 2023
This week, February 11-18, is National Entrepreneurship Week and USDA Rural Development (RD) is excited to celebrate America’s rural entrepreneurs—leaders who are critical to our nation’s economy.
Under the leadership of President Biden, Vice President Harris and Secretary Vilsack, USDA is dedicated to helping people through job creation and expansion of entrepreneurial opportunities in the rural places they live.
To celebrate National Entrepreneurship Week, USDA RD will share news and information to help people in rural communities start and grow their own businesses.
All week long, follow the hashtag #NatlEshipWeek and join the national discussion of entrepreneurship on social media. You'll meet entrepreneurs RD helped achieve their goals, like Johnny Murdaugh who started a family entertainment center in rural South Carolina, and Geoff Marietta who found a new way to power his small business in east Kentucky.
Also, be sure to check out our Resource Guide for Rural Entrepreneurs, designed to help rural entrepreneurs start and grow businesses, create good-paying jobs and strengthen America’s economy. (Esta guía está disponible en español: Recursos para Emprendedores Rurales).
Be sure not to miss great information like this by subscribing to the Rural Workforce GovDelivery list.
We hope you will join us in celebrating the American Entrepreneurial spirit this week. For more information about National Entrepreneurship Week, please visit www.natleshipweek.org.
