Borders, during a five-month-long pilot program, will provide approximately 350 free educational classes (per month) for Borders customers on topics ranging from “Baby Sign Language” to “Guerilla Marketing” and “Breaking into Show Business.” The classes, which begin Feb. 2nd, will be taught by local professionals, celebrities and business owners and are designed to be fun, educational and interactive. For the pilot program, Borders stores in Natomas, Roseville and Sacramento will offer a minimum of five free classes per day, six days a week.

Many of the classes are being taught by local women entrepreneurs. Check out this video to get a preview of a class called Delegate or Die, taught by Jessica Chapman whose business is Room to Breathe.

Watch Barrett McBride, another local businesswomen talk about her upcoming class at Borders.

Exciting that Borders has chosen this area to pilot this program. Free classes at your local Borders. Go check out the schedule at your local store. And report back if you attend any of them.
