In some communities, there are adult education and job training programs which focus on special needs populations or GED equivalency and English as a second language. These provide chances for the NETCorp to support education and eventually make it part of their business. They can and should offer the funding source real results based on students getting and keeping real work. If they are employing people somewhere else, this is a natural way to make money by building the skill levels of their employees. Attract franchising or licensing operations to the community.
