With a state unemployment rate hovering around 9 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, the search for a job can be long and stressful. But one local company recently launched an online university to help the struggling job seeker break into a new career as an independent contractor. Merchant Warehouse, a credit card processing company, recently started offering free “Webinars” designed to jump-start and fine-tune an independent contractor’s career. Merchant Warehouse University, which can be found at mw-university.com, offers independent sales agents news, industry knowledge and education. Henry Helgeson, co-CEO of Merchant Warehouse, was an independent contractor himself before beginning Merchant Warehouse in 1998.
