The name of the project is “Entrepreneurship Readiness (RE)”. The RE program helps interested individuals who are unemployed and interested in starting a business locally (by city or county). Once candidates have been selected based on objective criteria, successful candidates are entitled to receive training on specific skills for six months or one year.

Instead of starting a new business immediately after graduating from high school, it may be advisable to have work experience first. Finally, the regulation of the opening location could have a negative effect. It can be inferred that in some sectors where clusters are specialized, administrative boundaries may be different from the areas of residence. In this case, they can play a role of regulatory costs. According to conventional wisdom, the opening location can be flexible, but should not be other states or locations that are too distant.
