Think Entrepreneurs

The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has released Training and Employment Notice (TEN) 25-09 which describes the release of Think Entrepreneurs: A Call to Action - Integrating Entrepreneurship into the Public Workforce System throughout America.

In July 2008, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) awarded the Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education a grant for a period of one year to analyze current entrepreneurship operations and policies in the public workforce system, and collect information on ways Workforce Investment Boards and One-Stop Career Centers currently provide support for developing entrepreneurs. Utilizing this information, the Consortium developed an online clearinghouse and a report to broadly share best practices on entrepreneurship activities within the public workforce system.

The new publication encourages the workforce investment system to make entrepreneurial/self-employment training opportunities available for people interested in self-employment under Title I of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998.
