Community Action is teaching a three-week crash course based on the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth.
According to Executive Director of Community Action, Allison Rumler-Gomez, the class is to help people figure out if they're up to starting their own small business.
Rumler-Gomez adds that the response to the class has been overwhelmingly positive and that part of the class is developing a sense of discipline.
The class is tied to the Community Action thrift store in that they're teaching basic job skills to volunteers while the store generates unrestricted funds for Community Action.
She is currently teaching in Monticello and calls the class "crazy effective," and adds that the class has also helped people realize that starting their own business is not for them.
After Rumler-Gomez finishes the class in Monticello, she'll head to the otherside of the state to teach in Havana and Canton.
