Entrepreneurial Training for Refugees: A Training Guide.
Talaga, James; Chu, Hung M.
This manual is designed for use in developing successful workshops for training refugee entrepreneurs. The goal of such workshops is described as that of providing selected groups of refugees (especially Ethiopians, Somalians, Laotians, Cambodians and Vietnamese) with imformation that will help them to go into business or to make better decisions if they are already in business. The first section, on workshop organization, discusses workshop purpose, participants (organizational staff, refugees, and speakers), budgeting, publicity, logistics, and program content. Running the program is discussed in the second section, with suggestions given on scheduling, registration processes, question and answer sessions, and forms and forms returns. The third and final section deals with follow-up activities, including certificates of completion, written question response, and personal assistance. Appendices contain schedules, forms, bibliographies, and other materials used at past seminars, a list of Small Business Administration Field Offices and publications, and a list of State commerce and industrial development departments.
