Lambton College has received additional funding to help local businesses develop and implement e-business tools.

$20,000 has been granted from the Ontario Centre of Excellence Voucher for an E-Business program.

College students and faculty will work with local businesses to help them increase their visibility, reduce marketing and operation costs as well as enter new markets and increase customer service

In April, Lambton students launched new websites for five area businesses with the next phase beginning in September. Any Lambton business interested in participating are asked to call the college.
