Aftercare Services

Along with one window shopping, committee Members and presenters identified the need to develop more aftercare or follow-up services. Once funding assistance has been granted there seems to be, in many cases, no follow-up service from the economic development officer, the department or the corporations. Aftercare service is required because many clients, although very proficient in their work -- for example, producing arts and crafts products -- are not experienced in the administration and management of the business. Often, there is no follow-up until the business is in trouble and by then it is too late to rectify the problem areas.
Committee Members feel that if the economic development of communities is to be successful, business services must be available to clients after funding has been granted.
