The Nassau County Chamber of Commerce is a non-partisan organization with a mission to promote and maintain a healthy business environment and quality of life for Nassau County.  The new and ever-evolving work environment, increase in remote workers, and influx of small business owners has created a need for 'hands on' instruction with various tasks. From social media to bookkeeping, the Chamber's new 'Work Lab' program was created to provide the local business community with on-site assistance from certified professionals.
Are you having trouble connecting your business Facebook page with your Instagram account? Do you know how to create marketing content such as promotional flyers, social media graphics, and logos? Is your time being spent trying to add account codes to QuickBooks? This program is self-paced and completely individualized. Unlike traditional classes or workshops, Work Labs have no speaker and allow participants to work at their own pace, making use of the available assistance when needed. Attendees are asked to bring their own laptop or other electronic device in order to participate. Throughout the month of September, Work Labs will be held weekly from 8:30-11:30 A.M. at the Nassau County Chamber of Commerce, located at 961687 Gateway Blvd., Suite 101-G in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Chamber members can attend free of charge and reservations are not necessary; prospective members may attend for $40.00 and must register in advance.
