Boeing
Teaches Employees How To Run Small Business
Many
companies are teaming with the public sector
to assist outplaced employees. For example,
Boeing is working with the state of Washington
and local business and government officials
to offer a small business training program
to outplaced employees.
Selection
for the program - which involves classes, reviews
of business plans, and consultation - is rigorous.
Applicants must have a viable business idea, identify
competitors and customers and indicate how they will
support themselves until the business is making a
profit.
...
Besides helping former employees, the program
allows Boeing to hold down it's unemployment
insurance contributions and improve its image
in the community.
