Self-Employment Benefits (SEB) Program at Job Skills From artists to wine-makers, personal shoppers to custom woodworkers, e-business to high-tech hardware support, entrepreneurs have received a helping hand from Job Skills to get their new businesses off the ground. Several years ago, Job Skills looked at offering self-employment programs and services as a way to assist clients who wanted to use their entrepreneurial skills to create their own employment. Today, the Agency offers a range of business development programs and services to hundreds of entrepreneurs a year. In 1997, the Agency started a Self-Employment Assistance (SEA) program in Newmarket. Over the years,clients have represented all business sectors — from manufacturing to retail, information technology to health care. In March 2001, SEA evolved into the Self-Employment Benefits (SEB) Program. Eligibility
