Entrepreneur Training Program For Displaced Workers Ramps Up
Can You Have More Sales, Too?
Helping over 75,000 businesses like yours raise profits and build customer relationships using AWeber's opt-in email marketing software for over 10 years.
GRAND RAPIDS, MI (Michigan Radio) – A program to help displaced workers start their own business is expanding.
The program, called FastTrac has been used in recent years to teach people how to start their own business.
Now, the Michigan Small Business & Technology Development Center says FastTrac will expand dramatically, and train close to 800 people this year who’ve lost their job.
Greg Main is head of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. He says even the expanded program isn’t really big enough. But he says it’s needed.
“To find the resources to do more means that you gotta demonstrate success,” Main says. “And so what we need is a few success examples so we can go to the legislature and say it’s worthwhile putting money into these kind of programs.”
The training programs typically meet once a week for eight to ten weeks. At the end, instructors help potential business-owners find the money to start their business.
