Hi folks. . . Continuing our discussion of how we capture entrepreneurial opportunties- coach small businesses- and develop guilds or an online work “temporary employment service”. I wanted to offer this example of about 10 or so of these a week that come across my desk— some of pay, some have barter, others have amazing opportunities— I guess the issue for me is there energy to pursue these and meet once a month or so to put together a temporary on line employment- community works web portal/ network and see if we can capture some work/ salary opportunities locally
Examples:
- folks need short term computer training, repair, web design, back up
- folks call wanting to have an energy audit for their house and then construction
- someone to do marketing or grant writing for specific local non profits
- short term project coordination- community outreach/ coordinating meetings/ databases
- someone to research a closed system bio-composter to save our city biowaste project
- short term video projects e.g. Film local educational events and then put them on PT TV
- I bet we could all think of a list of them that would be available to be linked- networked- guilded- good work/ professional experience for young people
EXAMPLE:
Do you have Business or Marketing students or faculty looking for businesses to link up to analyze an existing business or a new business venture.
I think that there is real potential in this and the idea of really making money for this community— but it needs to have some folks that are supportive and willing to work together to make it happen. . . I need some folks to work with me for 1-2 days to conceptualize, put together the web sites, and get the pilot up and going. It needs room for a calendar— for individual web digital portfolios— for marketing etc etc.
Let me know what you think. . . .
