LATEST PROJECT
TECHNICAL ENTERPRISE SUPPORT PROJECT leads to the Pathway into Employment (PiE) has been funded by the Wesleyan Foundation. Our plan is to work with local residents whose livelihood has been affected by, or potentially are at risk of unemployment due to COVID-19. We know that thousands of people in this important sub-region will lose their jobs due to employers having to close their businesses especially when the Furlough Scheme ends. Our long-term plan is to offer dedicated enterprise and business support to support economic wellbeing in local areas.
In partnership with our sister organisation, Global Entrepreneurial Development Services (GEDS) We are currently delivering online training via Zoom every Monday from 10.30 and 12.30pm. We also offer hourly 1-1 support sessions for participants experiencing multiple disadvantages.
Our research showed that there was limited support in existence for people new to business or those thinking about setting up their own enterprise. Through the PiE programme of ongoing activities, the participants will learn to develop their ideas into busines prospects and also learn about how to do their web-filing, Corporation Tax Returns, Annual Statement of Accounts, Annual Returns and information to the Charity Commission (in the case of non-governmental organisations and others). They will also receive support in learning how to conduct e-marketing campaigns, support in budgeting and creating cashflows. Participants will gain an invaluable knowledge and skills around IT and setting up their own marketing portals.
To register, please fill in this very short questionnaire and submit. We will then contact you.
