Core
Area 3:
Work Force Education and Entrepreneurship
Description
Core Area 3 focuses on two topics: Workforce Education and Entrepreneurship.
The first topic concentrates on the development of education and
training programs for non-college bound youth and adults. Employment
opportunities include positions as training specialists, instructional
developers, program administrators, and instructors in community
colleges, adult education programs, and job training programs. The
second topic addresses the issues of entrepreneurship for people
with disabilities. Interwork's relationship with the Disabled Businesspersons
Associations strengthens this Area by bringing strong connections
to the business community and offering expertise to people with
disabilities interested in starting their own business.
