Southeastern Entrepreneurial Network (SEEN)
Founding Equity: Embedding Inclusive Cultures in Rural Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
This initiative mandates gender-equity and workplace culture training for rural entrepreneurs in southeast Utah to build foundational systems that support everyone from business inception.
SERDA and SEEN address systemic barriers by embedding workplace culture training into southeastern Utah's entrepreneurial ecosystem. By mandating this programming for entrepreneurs within the SEEN incubator, the project ensures new enterprises launch with equitable hiring and support structures. Partnering with Colorado's Regions 9 and 10 for regional alignment, the initiative creates a scalable model for rural economic equity, preventing workplace disparities before they take root in the regional economy.
