SBA/AARP to Host Summer of Encore Mentoring Program

PARSIPPANY — The U.S. Small Business Administration and AARP are teaming up with the New Jersey Small Business Development Center of Northwest Jersey to host Summer of Encore Mentoring Workshop an event targeted for entrepreneurs over the age of 50 and who are considering entrepreneurship during the next phase of their life, on Friday, June 19.

The event will take place at Allied Wealth Partners located at 14 Walsh Drive. The seminar will cover the basics of starting and financing a small business, and will match encore entrepreneurs with mentors who have small business experience. The event is designed to connect encore entrepreneurs with mentors from SBA’s network of Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs), who can help throughout the life of an entrepreneur’s business.

“With one in four individuals ages 44 to 70 interested in becoming entrepreneurs, and 63 percent of Americans planning to work during retirement, small business ownership is a good option for people over the age of 50,” said SBA Regional Administrator Kellie LeDet. “Small business owners with long-term counselors see bigger sales, hire more workers and have more longevity.”

Joan DiMurro, Managing Partner at PayWorks Payroll Solutions, a Rockaway-based company that specializes in helping small business owners manage their payroll, employment tax and compliance responsibilities will be the event’s keynote speaker. DiMurro has held various supervisory and executive positions in the small business divisions of the “big three” national payroll service corporations, before venturing out on her own to become a successful Encore Entrepreneur.

CCM and Fairleigh Dickinson Launch Dual Reduced-Tuition Admissions Program

RANDOLPH — County College of Morris (CCM) and Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) signed a formal agreement this week launching the CCM-FDU Scholars Program to provide students with a significantly more affordable pathway for earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the university.

The agreement, signed by CCM President Edward J. Yaw and FDU President Sheldon Drucker, allows students to enroll in the dual admissions program as CCM freshmen or during the course of their first year at CCM. Students who graduate with an associate degree from CCM can have all their credits, up to a maximum of 64, considered for transfer to a bachelor’s or combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program at FDU.

Students in the CCM-FDU Scholars Program will be eligible for a 40 percent reduction in the university’s tuition on either of its campuses. High-achieving CCM students who are NJSTAR II recipients or members of the college’s Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society also are eligible for an additional tuition reduction.

Students who want to reside on either FDU’s Metropolitan Campus or Florham Campus also will receive an additional $1,500 per year housing grant.

“CCM has a longstanding relationship with FDU and this agreement takes it to another level,” said Yaw. “This program makes the transition more seamless, as advisors from both institutions help students stay on track for an associate degree and a bachelor’s degree. Coupled with significant reductions in tuition, there are many advantages for our students, and I expect that it will result in more of our students transferring to FDU.”

“This is a great opportunity for the students of Morris County, both at CCM and FDU, that they can afford,” said Drucker.

The launching of this new program is in addition to the articulation agreements CCM’s already holds with a number of other colleges and universities. For more information on CCM’s articulation agreements, click here.
