A microenterprise is defi ned as a very small (or micro-) business, hav- ing fewer than fi ve employees (usually a single self-employed person or family), minimal capital needs, and whose owner has some social, cultural, economic or physical barrier to overcome that prevents access to traditional business training and counseling resources. We are looking for individuals who possess the best practices in workshop facilitation, instruction and classroom management to facilitate discussion and student information exchange on the topic of business development. Our goal is to create a safe, interactive, non-critical learning environ- ment that encourages self-refl ection and learning. We are looking for individuals who will build trust with each student to ensure they become completely engaged in the course to the best of their ability. Application Instructions: Please send your resume and a bio to the MERIT Program Manager Mona Edwards at medwar44@cheme- keta.edu. n 2014 Honors In Education Education is soliciting student information to publish in a special edition of Smoke Signals .
