“After Kim Osterhoudt lost her human resources job at a financial services firm in a 2009 downsizing, she tried to eke out a living selling homemade jam near her home in Belle Mead, N.J. To improve her odds of success, she enrolled last year in Entrepreneur University, a free, 60-hour, local entrepreneurship training program launched by the New Jersey Department of Labor in partnership with the nonprofit Intersect Fund. Osterhoudt says her business is on track to hit $60,000 in revenue this year—double that of 2011—but she has yet to turn a profit and has been living off the proceeds of a home she sold shortly after she lost her job.”
