ENGLEWOOD — The nonprofit Greater Englewood Community Development Corporation will sponsor a three-part diversity workshop for small businesses and entrepreneurs that will focus on how to partner with larger businesses such as Whole Foods Market, which is a co-sponsor.

The free "Supplier Diversity Forum" will run from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. on Friday and Nov. 7 and from 8-11 a.m. on Jan. 23 in the U-Building at Kennedy-King College, 740 W. 63rd St. Online registration is required and entrepreneurial coaching by industry experts will also be available, according to organizers.

The first two workshops will focus on new or expanding small business interested in technical assistance, and the third workshop will focus on engaging new and local suppliers interested in selling their products to Whole Foods Market, which is set to open an Englewood store in 2016.
