Self-employment Program
The Self-Employment (SE) Program
offers assistance to past and current Employment Insurance (EI)
recipients wanting to start a business.
The program is designed for individuals who have a workable
business idea.
The Self-Employment Program is a provincially funded program
sponsored by Manitoba Competitiveness Training and Trade and
Employment Manitoba. The SE Program provides financial
assistance and management training for individuals who want to start
their own business.
People who currently receive EI
normally lose these benefits when they start a business.
Through the SE Program the client
is allowed to establish the business and continue to receive
benefits while on the program.
In addition, other unemployed individuals qualifying under
the SE program may receive benefits (in the form of a living
allowance). This
enables the client to have an income to live on so that they can
reinvest profits back into the business.
