Work For Yourself At 50+
Are you over 50 and looking for ways to improve your current financial situation? Have you ever dreamed of being your own boss? AARP Wisconsin and Western Dairyland EOC, Inc. will be hosting a virtual Work for Yourself@50+ workshop to help people gain the knowledge, support, and resources they need to make informed decisions about working for themselves and to take the right first steps toward successful self-employment.
