Aspiring business women in Lanarkshire are being invited to take part in a free nine-week mentoring programme – described as a “business bootcamp” – to help turn their ideas into enterprises. Women Can Grow will include weekly workshops on a range of key business topics, one-to-one support and ongoing mentoring for 18 months, plus networking events and a sales pitch competition with three prizes of £500 on offer.
The course is open to participants aged 18+ who have a fully-formed business idea which they are ready to pursue within six weeks of completing the programme, and those trading for less than six months seeking structured support to grow; and places are available by registering online by this Friday, January 10. It is being run by Hamilton-based business management organisation Inspirent, supported by the Scottish Government as part of its Pathways business programme, and launches with “bootcamp” on January 23. The Lanarkshire course will run every Thursday until the end of March, from 10.30am to 3pm at a venue still to be confirmed, and will include topics such as market research, brand identity, marketing, product pricing, cash flow management, sales strategy and risk planning. Organisers are aiming “specifically to support those who may be furthest away from the entrepreneurial world, such as single mums, women from ethnic minorities, and women returning to work after a career break”
