Learning to be the Boss is a book created by Ida Tober to provide, in plain language, a resource for tutors of individuals or small groups. This book centers on people wishing to consider starting their own business.
Many learners have identified self-employment as a goal, and many communities are responding to this need by working with learners to enable them to realise their goals. This manual will prove of value as you work with your learners in their growth toward independence and self-reliance. This is a plain-language resource in loose-leaf format for tutors of individuals or small groups. People considering starting a business or interested in learning about some aspect of business may consider some or all of the chapter topics. It's not expected that literacy tutors or career counsellors are business experts. It is hoped that people with expertise and experience in business will be become mentors who will want some training to learn about levels of literacy skills and some strategies used in tutoring disadvantaged people with low literacy.
