Counselling for self-employed beginners at the Employment Service There are many of us who have no choice but to become self-employed after our unemployment benefits run out. The Job Centre simply does not do this kind of counselling, even though I have been with them for 16 months. I have to search on the Internet for a business cooperation agreement, pay at least 50 euros for counselling, etc. I suggest that a programme for the transition of the unemployed from the unemployment office to self-employment be developed, especially in the area of counselling or mentoring. Money is not the most important thing.
