Yuba College SBDC Staff and Counselors
Averaging more than 25 years experience, YCCD SBDC counselors
guide clients through the business development process empowering
the business owner to find their own solutions. Rather than doing
the work for them, SBDC counselors work with the business owner as
coach, trainer, and facilitator. The business owner is involved
pro-actively, addressing issues, finding and implementing solutions
that provide the desired results.
