Workplace Literacy Discussion List members,
I hope you were so busy stuffing yourself with delicious food last
Thursday (Thanksgiving) that you didn't miss the Thursday Resources!
There weren't any to share with you, so I didn't make a post.

This week, there were not many more.  As usual, when the URL for a
resource is broken between two lines, you may have to cut and paste the
two parts together in your address box to access the resource.  Happy
reading!

This webinar will feature experienced representatives from three
community colleges who will highlight their exceptional programs that
demonstrate the breadth of entrepreneurial education available today.
The entrepreneurship education offered by community colleges varies
greatly from campus to campus including for-credit courses, non-credit
courses, certificates, consultation services and even business
incubators. They offer expertise and resources in the areas of business
planning, financial management, market planning & analysis, succession
planning, business growth, manufacturing, import/export, and training in
sales, managing payroll, and even tax seminars. Despite these different
approaches, all community college entrepreneurship programs focus on
increasing economic development and creating jobs in their communities.
