The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) is launching a program that aims to help unemployed workers start their own company, the agency said Monday.
The program, dubbed Growing America Through Entrepreneurship (GATE), is available to people who are at least 50 years old and qualify for the Dislocated Worker Program (DAP). DAP supports workers who’ve recently lost their job.
GATE, which is backed by the U.S. Department of Labor, doesn’t provide financial assistance or seed capital to participants. However, it offers personal evaluations, education on how to start a business and other guidance.
