║ SCORE Workshops Provide Basic & Specialized Training ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
SCORE, the Service Corps of Retired Executives Association, is
made up of retired, professional business managers from all
disciplines of business and government. In addition to providing
free management counseling (see option #1, previous menu), it
also sponsors over 3,100 training workshops nationwide, covering
many of the most important topics to your business or business
idea. Workshop topics include how to do business internationally,
how to properly go into franchising, the latest Small Business
Administration loan programs, how to start a business,
legal/insurance/accounting considerations for small business.
SCORE, because it is an independent, volunteer association, also
has an advantage in flexibility and responsiveness. For example,
when the Persian Gulf War resulted in small business owners and
managers being called into active duty away from their
businesses, SCORE took an active role in seeking out those
affected business owners and provided counseling and workshops to
those left behind--many of whom did not have the skills or
experience to manage the business. When South Los Angeles was
torn apart with rioting, SCORE immediately mobilized to put on
"Getting Back Into Business" seminars for people whose businesses
had been devastated.
Over 100,000 people attend SCORE's workshops each year. There
usually is a nominal fee for the all-day workshops. Fees range
from $5 to $50, with most being between $15 and $25. The fees are
used to help cover the materials and facilities costs. SCORE
management experts volunteer their time for the workshop.
Sponsored by the U.S. Small Business Administration, SCORE has
offices in nearly 800 locations nationwide. Many of these
chapters put on workshops weekly or monthly. To find out where
your nearest SCORE Office is, consult option #3 on the previous
menu.
