“Let’s Get To Work!”



I am amazed at the number of organizations that have programs to assist individuals in getting jobs or opening their own businesses.

The University of Phoenix’s new advertising theme is “Let’s Get To Work”.  The TV ads encourage individuals to go to school in order to be prepared for a job.  Sam’s Club and Constant Contact in conjunction with SCORE sponsored an entrepreneurial conference in Dallas for over 100 small business owners representing all 50 states.  Capital One sponsors a seven month program for small business in need management and financial assistance.  Texas Wesleyan University just announced a workshop - ‘How to Start or Run a Small Business.’  SCORE holdings monthly workshops to assist new and existing small business owners establish or improved their businesses.  The Texas Workforce Commission, USAA, and many other organizations are assisting veterans to become employed.  I am hoping this blog will assist individuals in search of a meaningful job.

This list is just a small sampling of the services available for the unemployed.  How do you measure the success of these programs?  It is difficult to gain measured feedback.  Do you find these programs helpful?

Please share your experiences with seminars, workshops, classes that you feel have assisted your becoming employed by posting a comment or emailing me at glynjordan@gmail.com.

Thanks, Glyn
