Throughout the year, PDP organizes business workshops and seminars for entrepreneurs, often inviting guest lecturers to share their knowledge and expertise. Topics include creating low-cost marketing strategies, effective time management and how to take advantage of government procurement opportunities.

PDP periodically offers financial literacy classes that deliver information about how to build assets through savings and tax benefits, build good credit, how to recognize and avoid predatory lending situations and money management solutions.

Entrepreneurs also receive valuable training through PDP's series of technology workshops, which teaches students how to use common business software applications and develop Internet marketing strategies.

As the need arises, PDP presents industry-specific seminars that focus on business issues specific to daycare providers, retail owners, contractors and professional service providers.

In addition, PDP purchases training slots and provides scholarships for program participants to attend business development conferences and other seminars, such as those sponsored by the African American Female Entrepreneurs Alliance, GPUAC and The Philadelphia Tribune.
