The Jobs Course is an introductory course using both Economy, Jr. and Pitch Drill programs to increase economic literacy and put participants on the path to develop and submit their own business plans and pitches to the Cashless Incubator in pursuit of landing an internship, a job, or even essential resources for their own startup.
This is the first in a series of videos explaining the programs and services ReBuildUp offers.
FREE PUBLIC EVENT – Saturday, March 22nd from 2:00-4:30pm at Glenwood Library, part of the Greensboro Library System, has been set as the new date for the Economy, Jr. originally scheduled for January 23rd that was delayed due to incremental weather. This event will feature another game called “Pitch Drill” held after Economy, Jr. as part of the ReBuildUp Jobs Course. This event is being held for area teens. More details coming soon. #GBL
Due to weather closing area schools and affecting after school programs, the Economy, Jr. planned for Wednesday, January 22nd sponsored by Business Cents for YWCA’s yWORLD program is being postponed until either the first or second week of February.

The Rhino Times published a letter to the editor about Sunday’s Economy Jr event at Deep Roots in their January 16th issue:
PRACTICAL ECONOMICS
“DEAR EDITOR,
The opinions on what’s wrong with the economy span the political spectrum, but the solutions seem few and far between.
While it won’t solve the national debt overnight or Congress’s inability to balance a budget, I want to invite those concerned about our economic climate to do their part to educate the next generation on how the economy actually works by enrolling a young person in the free “Economy, Jr” financial and business literacy game taking place this Sunday, Jan. 19 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at Deep Roots Market in Downtown Greensboro.”
