At NCEOC, we look forward to spreading the word about employee-ownership far and wide in 2025, especially through special events and workshops. These specially curated programs are designed to educate stakeholders, uplift employee-ownership experts, and inspire attendees through stories of experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our goal is to help more people, businesses, and communities understand employee-ownership models and capitalize on these dynamic strategies for succession planning that provide business owners with great returns, boost company performance, and create opportunities for employee-owners. Here\u2019s a taste of what\u2019s in store! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go deep into employee ownership with the Employee Ownership Ambassador Program.<\/a> If you are committed to exploring innovative business succession options that provide a great option for business owners while significantly contributing to job preservation and bolstering community economics, this program is for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This program will equip participants with the knowledge and tools to determine if one of the three major forms of employee ownership \u2013 Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), worker cooperatives, or Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs) \u2013 might be a good fit for their own business or a business within their spheres of influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will also connect with fellow participants and experts who have successfully transitioned businesses into employee-owned enterprises, over the course of this four-week program. With a weekly commitment of just 1.5 to 2 hours, this program offers profound impact without infringing on your busy schedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please fill out this form<\/a> if you\u2019re interested in further details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mark your calendars for an enriching series of free webinars, co-hosted by the NCEOC and the North Carolina Small Business Center Network (SBCN). We are hosting 12:00-1:00 p.m. webinars on February 18, May 22, August 19, and November 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll learn from North Carolina business owners who have successfully transitioned to employee-owned structures through ESOPs, worker cooperatives, or EOTs. These online gatherings promise insightful discussions about transformative employee ownership topics and practical strategies to consider for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the lineup of speakers is yet to be announced, attendees can anticipate thought-provoking insights. Join our email newsletter list<\/a>, so you\u2019re the first to learn more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NCEOC is partnering with communities across the state to provide lunch & learns on business succession planning and employee ownership. Watch our events page<\/a> for final dates and locations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n More than half of small business owners don\u2019t have a plan for what happens after they leave their business. Professional exit planners are a great resource, but many do not know about employee ownership. With that in mind, we are excited to present three workshops through ExitPro101 in the new year to bring information about employee ownership to professional exit planners, while providing them with continuing education credits. Dates and locations are currently being finalized.
