Small Business Program FREE for Those Laid Off in Missouri

There is an upcoming session of FastTrac NewVenture program starting on June 2. This is FREE for dislocated workers in Missouri -- laid off, etc. This is a terrific program to help you learn about starting a small business. It gives you a chance to explore ideas and develop a business plan. You get practical information as part of the program that it would take effort and money to find on your own. You get wonderful networking opportunities with established businesses and entrepreneurs. I went through the program and it's a great opportunity.
