Vermont Telecom Advancement Center is launching a new project funded by a grant from the Department of Labor. The Vermont Work at Home program has as its centerpiece a three-part education program to impart business, technical, and soft skills to potential salaried or contract teleworkers and home-based business entrepreneurs. The program targets unemployed and underemployeed workers, including persons with disabilities, in two economically depressed areas of Vermont: the Northeast Kingdom (comprising Essex, Caledonia and Orleans Counties), and Springfield Vermont.

At the conclusion of the DoL grant, they plan to release full documentation via their website and provide a major seminar so that the model program can be used in other locations in Vermont and around the nation.

Best of luck, VTAC!
