With those truths in mind, the local Women's Opportunity Center and the Women in Information Technology group at SU are pooling resources to help train displaced homemakers for entrepreneurial roles. This collaboration will focus on teaching technology skills and accounting software as well as the entrepreneurial spirit.

"It's a really wonderful way of solidifying a partnership that will allow and teach displaced homemakers who are interested in entrepreneurial endeavors to set up their own business," said Peggy Woods of the Women's Opportunity Center.

A displaced homemaker is someone who's lost her primary supportive income and has to find a job. The Women's Opportunity Center already teaches basic computer skills and is in the process of building a curriculum for the new program with its volunteers from the Women in Information Technology group at SU.
