Self-Employment Strategies for People with Disabilities
Training Resource Network, Inc. has released the book No More Job Interviews! Self-Employment Strategies for People with Disabilities by Alice Weiss Doyel. This is the first book authored by an entrepreneur with disabilities to offer Business Startup Strategies tailored to people with disabilities. Step-by-step, it teaches how to optimize prospects for business success and self-sufficiency. It also gives human service agencies the tools to play a powerful role in the process by offering self-employment programs.
Doyel covers little known opportunities and resources in growing a business that she has found in the for-profit and nonprofit worlds as well as the public sector. She offers tips on the role of the Internet, both as a way of doing business and as a source of business start-up information. The book also includes four profiles of individuals with disabilities and their business plans.
The book is aimed at people with all types of disabilities and also at the professionals who can help them in their careers, such as: vocational rehabilitation counselors, employment specialists, job developers and supported employment program managers.
No More Job Interviews! Self-Employment Strategies for People with Disabilities is a tool for family members or friends who lend support to someone with a disability in his or her career quest.
