You can go back to school to learn your craft.
You can spend years perfecting your skills.
An employer will hire you to run their business, their way. And a good employer will not just ask you to work, but will challenge you to expand your skillset and improve every single day.
But what if you want to start your own shop? Where do you learn how to do that? You may know the basics of setting up the storefront, working the cashier and bringing in customers. But what about managing taxes, finances and setting up a business plan?
The Spouse Education and Career Opportunities can help teach you all of that.
