Northwest Business Training Center's accredited Business Bootcamp training program is approved by the Washington State's Employment Security Department (ESD) as a SEAP Approved Provider. This means that once approved by ESD, you will continue to collect unemployment benefits (and no longer have to do the weekly job searches) while you receive entrepreneurial training and business counseling for 6 months.
There are no special requirements to participate in the Business Bootcamp program; everyone is welcome.
The Self-Employment Assistance Program (SEAP) does not pay for class fees. You are responsible for any financial planning needed to complete the training program. We offer a discounted rate of $395 for SEAP-approved students. If you are unable to pay for the program, ask your local WorkSource about the WIOA / Career Bridge program to find out if you qualify.
"Just to let you know: I have had very few that are interested in self-employment right now. However, your program is the one that I will refer any future clients for the SEAP Entrepreneurial program. I feel that your course offering is very thorough and hits the mark for someone starting out. Thank you for providing this training. You are doing a great service to help others."

"Hi Rebecca—I talked to someone at the ESD this week and gave your program high marks. They said they’ve heard that from others as well. They were happy to hear that the folks in your class have taken SEAP seriously and made good progress. This appears to be a program that works!"
