The Creative Business Ownership for Women Project was established at Valencia Community College (Florida) to provide displaced homemakers and single parents with the special help they need to achieve entrepreneurial success. During the course of the project, displaced homemakers, single parents, and rural disadvantaged women interested in owning a small or home-based business were recruited and offered a series of four seminars on how to start a home-based business and four workshops on how to advertise and promote a business. Program participants were offered business skills training in four specialized workshops, and personal counseling, referrals, and follow-up were provided. A 1985-86 survey of female entrepreneurs was updated, and a network for women business owners and for women interested in starting a business was established. (Thirty-four attachments are appended to the nine-page project report. Included among them are a self-assessment for prospective entrepreneurs, a list of community resources that can provide assistance to persons starting businesses, summaries of the seminars on starting a home-based business, ideas for home-based businesses, information on the women's business owners network sponsored by Valencia Community College, workshop follow-up surveys, newspaper articles on successful female business owners, and information on services offered through the Creative Business Ownership for Women Project.)
