Enterprise Training

Our Enterprise & Social Enterprise programmes are ideal for people who want
to start a business but do not quite know how to begin.

Our main aim is to improve Social Mobility and nurture home-grown talent. In order to create a more sustainable environment and stronger communities all businesses should become socially aware.

What is it like to be a part of the group?

"I feel empowered to do more than I think I can"

"It gives me a feeling of contentment, confidence, and excitement"
