- This event will link 50 year old plus Americans with small business development resources
- Training
- AARP and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) will team up Oct. 2 to host the first National Encore Entrepreneur Mentor Day targeted at entrepreneurs age 50+. The goal is to match these “encore entrepreneurs” with experienced business owners and community leaders for advice and assistance, and to link them to the resources they need to successfully start and grow businesses and create jobs.
National Encore Entrepreneur Mentor Day is part of a larger effort by AARP and SBA to promote entrepreneurship among individuals ages 50+. It will consist of events across the country, including an Encore Entrepreneur Fair in Sioux Falls that will match encore entrepreneurs with organizations and local contacts with small business experience.
With one in four Americans ages 44 to 70 interested in becoming entrepreneurs, and a large majority planning to work during retirement, small business ownership is a good option.
