The Learning Enrichment Foundation, near the site of the former Kodak plant in west-end Toronto, is a fascinating place. Occupying a huge old World War II-era factory, it offers day care, skills training, business development, incubation services and on-the-job experience to anyone across the city looking for a hand up.
And for the next five Thursday afternoons they're offering some decent free programs for any entrepreneurs looking to start or grow their business.
