CMP held a workshop on Work for Yourself@50+ on Wednesday, September 19th. Through this workshop, older adults learned about the options of self-employment and received advice and guidance on entrepreneurship opportunities, as well as the steps to starting a business. We’re glad that participants found the workshop very helpful and inspiring.
