FALLS CREEK, PENNSYLVANIA - Goodwill Industries of North Central Pennsylvania has announced a new Small Business Program.
In this program, individuals with disabilities will learn all the necessary skills to run a small agricultural business from planting to selling what they grow.
Participants will work in the new greenhouse at the Falls Creek Processing Center. There, they will plant and care for what they grow while learning the entire financial process from sale to bank deposit.
“The idea is to be able to train clients to run their own business. We will start with the set up and explain what it costs to set it up,” said Tom Glasl, chief financial officer of Goodwill of North Central Pennsylvania.
“Then, they will run it from start to finish. When they sell something they will take the deposit to the bank and make the entry on QuickBooks. When they buy things, we’ll teach them how to do the checks.”
