SCORE Seminar

Surviving the "Gig" Economy 

You see them everywhere these days – Gig Workers.  Some estimates show them as 34% of the work force.  They are involved in many types of independent work including;  drivers for Uber & Lyft, homeowners offering rentals through Airbnb, independents working on specific software development projects, musicians performing ‘gigs’, and healthcare. 

Some gigs are short term, while others offer the option of longer self-employment. Workers in the Gig Economy enjoy flexibility, variety, and the ability to truly pursue one’s career passion while earning money on their own schedules.

This new SCORE workshop will outline realistic insights as you participate in, or consider joining the Gig Economy.  We’ll cover issues of adaptability, time & money management, license & tax issues, “rules of the road” that apply to independent workers and the running of a successful business.

The fee for this 3 hour SCORE workshop only $35.  Seating is limited so please register early.  A copy of all presentation slides and other course materials will be emailed to registrants shortly prior to the seminar.
