Risks and Opportunities

Especially in the case of small enterprises risks

and opportunities are manageable !

The opportunities of self-employment for unemployed

people are twofold:

The chance to own an income

Preservation and further development of

vocational skills

Self-determination and ownership is a different

motivation basis than many other professional

integration policies – which are often partially accepted

voluntarily.
