With increased competition and limited work experience, graduates today may find it difficult to start a career. \u00a0But Taylor sees the assets athletes have and how those qualities are valuable in the workforce and the benefits of this new Tutor Doctor Loan program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost athletes are aware of the blessings they have been given and have a desire to make a positive difference in other people\u2019s lives,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cThey\u2019re also very driven and like to be active. Most would not be happy sitting in a cubicle. They have all the skills of a good business owner, but because of a lack of history, they can\u2019t secure a loan. Through Athlete2Entrepreneur, graduating college athletes would receive an interest-free loan, along with one-on-one coaching and mentoring sessions. This is a huge opportunity for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs thousands of graduating college athletes anxiously anticipate what will happen after graduation, most don\u2019t realize their competitive nature, team player mindset and ambition make them ideal business owners,\u201d said Tutor Doctor President Frank Milner. \u201cUnfortunately, even those athletes who understand their transferable skills and want to open a business are hard-pressed to secure a traditional business loan. The <strong>Athlete2Entrepreneur<\/strong> program addresses both issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLanding a job right out of college is extremely difficult, but finding yourself in a gratifying position that you are truly passionate about is even tougher,\u201d Milner added. \u201cWe are excited to be partnering with Lina to provide business opportunities for these young, passionate and driven graduates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franchisesolutions.com\/franchise\/tutor-doctor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tutor Doctor&#8217;s proven in-home tutoring business model<\/a> has created over 450 franchise territories employing more than 17,000 tutors in 15 countries and has plans to add 100 new locations worldwide in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Global market for private tutoring is forecast to reach $196.3 billion by 2020<sup>2<\/sup>.
