Workshop facilitators for micro-
enterprise business classes wanted
MERIT is a microenterprise program that provides business training
and one-on-one business counseling to residents of Marion, Polk and Yam-
hill counties who are in the process of starting their own businesses.
A microenterprise is defined as a very small (or micro-) business, hav-
ing fewer than five 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-reflection 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
