CAMEO conducts ongoing programs to serve our members and build capacity in our field.
¡Viva! Las Micro Empresas
Is focused on developing Latino entrepreneurs, the fastest growing business segment in California. Learn about ¡Viva! Las Micro Empresas.
Working with WIBs
Beginning in May 2010, CAMEO set out to establish a key role for its member Micro Enterprise organizations to serve California’s unemployed entrepreneurs. With the technical assistance of CAMEO consultant, Judy Hawkins, CAMEO members are encouraged and supported to initiate and build relationships with their local Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs).
Rural Initiative
Rural areas have a leading role to play in the greening of our life styles and business practices; they are central to a local-first strategy; and they reflect an aspect of America that we want to preserve. Learn about CAMEO’s Rural Initiative program.
CA-SETI
CA-SETI is the California Self Employment Tax Initiative; a national program with CFED to reach large numbers of entrepreneurs via collaborations with IRS VITA sites or local H&R Block offices. Learn more about CA-SETI.
Individualized Training Contracts
CAMEO further supports capacity building by offering individualized training contracts to member organizations to support their respective needs for further training and leadership development of their staff. Learn more about individualized training contracts.
