Subject: The Forsythe Center for Entrepreneurship Is Open For Enrollment!


As of September 19, the Forsythe Center for Entrepreneurship is open for
enrollment. The goal of this new business, entrepreneurship and technology
program is to provide individuals who are visually impaired with the
knowledge, resources and networking opportunities enabling them to advance
in their careers or to successfully launch and grow their own businesses. 
 
Ten courses are open for enrollment as of today:

*	 Self-Employment with a Minimal Investment 

*	 Business Fundamentals 

*	 Business Communications 

*	 Business Law 1 

*	 Business Law 2 

*	 Business Writing 

*	 Using Excel 

*	 Screen Readers: Listening Skills 

*	 Screen Readers: Web Browsing 

*	 Screen Readers: Formatting Word Documents

Six new modules are also open for enrollment:

*	Market Research 

*	The Financial Plan 

*	The Marketing Plan 

*	The Business Plan 

*	Business Insurance 

*	Forms of Ownership

Hadley is embarking upon this program, in part, to address the deplorable
employment rate among people who are visually impaired. Although statistics
vary somewhat, the most reliable data sources suggest that the under- or
unemployment rate of persons who are blind or visually impaired is 70%-80%.


The program is designed to be practical, relevant and interactive. Courses
are open to anyone who is blind or visually impaired, over age 14 and is
serious about starting or growing a business. Coursework is offered free of
charge and is mostly online.
