Description:
What is it you wish you knew then, that you know now, about the opportunity to join your family business that you should probably be talking about with your teenagers now? Or if you or other young adult children (say 25–40 years old) in the family business didn't have the proper discussion, is it too late? There is still much that can be achieved through some self-analysis and self-improvement, building credibility, determining your career path, building a life plan, clarifying your values, determining your marketability, and keeping yourself open to the risks and benefits of objective feedback. No matter your age, there is work to be done to make sure your inner child in the family business is both behaving him/herself, but keeping hope alive! This session would be a great one to invite your teens, or college age kids to hear, whether or not you've ever had "the family business talk".

Notice to Trainees
WHY WE NEED YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
Act 192 of the 2008 Vermont Legislature requires employers and other training providers receiving support from the state to provide the social security number of each individual participating in the training to the department of state government supporting the training. The social security number will be used to gather wage information from the Department of Labor's files after you complete training, in order to evaluate the training program.
The Departments of Labor and Economic Development must provide information on the employment outcomes of training programs to the Legislature. Your information will be combined with information of other trainees to ensure your privacy and the privacy of your employer. The law requires the departments to keep your information confidential.
