A room full of ideas, questions and possibilities 👏
Our latest workshop, facilitated by Tracy, brought together participants both face-to-face and online to learn more about what it takes to start and run a business.
It’s a chance to build practical knowledge, ask the questions that matter and get a clearer picture of whether self-employment is the right next step.
Great to see another group getting involved and exploring where their ideas could take them!
