They also attract customers from outside the neighborhood. If successful, they can expand to include a flea market, barter exchange, craft fair, etc. Promote the cultural products of the community. The community identity could be incorporated into a street fair or broadcast over the world wide web. Make alliances with community colleges for employee training.
Community colleges are the natural source of job training and remedial education.
The real dollars are in the educational system and not the labor training system. NET Corps and Community colleges make natural partners. Community colleges get money based on students attending classes. 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.
