Estimates are that 45% of the workforce is part of the Gig Economy. The Gig Economy is made up of independent, freelancers; the one-person shops. Why is it called a Gig Economy? The term Gig was originally used by musicians who earn their living doing discrete, one-off engagements. It is now used to describe people who freelance or do contract work, requiring them to balance multiple projects and clients. Younger people use gigs to explore the world of work. Some people take on gigs to supplement their income. For others, it is the only way to make a living.
At the same time, companies are hiring contract labor to reduce their overhead (workspace, unemployment taxes, and medical benefits), shift their risk exposure (professional liability), and avoid long-term or major financial commitments (retirement funds). The result is that more and more people are faced with the need to learn how to market, sell, negotiate, invoice, budget, administer, and plan. This program is focused on helping people entering the Gig Economy to succeed.
The goals of the program are to help you in your journey into the Gig Economy by learning how to:
• Stand out from your competition
• Add value
• Get a competitive edge
• Better manage your business practices
• Build your administrative processes
• Create a support network
