Harper College: A Great Business Resource For Our Area

Harper College’s Maggie Franks told us at the club’s August 28th meeting about Harper College’s resources available to business.  She works with the Harper “For Business” initiative and also showed a fine video overview about Harper.  It made many of us proud to have Harper in the area !
Highlights included telling of the availability of a state-of-the-art Conference Center, which also has a liquor license and catering for business entertaining.     She said that though the student cafeteria food is great, the Conference Center’s is even better!  Many companies use Harper for on site or on-campus staff training, too, and programs for English as a second language.  There is business consulting available through the college and state grant funds available to help defray the cost for some types of businesses.  Of special note is the presence of a consultant staff member at the Arlington Heights Village Hall one day a week.  One can get an hour of free consultation.
