Women In Business Bootcamps Underway

Women across Northern Ireland who are hoping to break into the business community are set to benefit from a serious of 'Imagine It' workshops.

The one day bootcamps are available in each council area and are open to all pre-start and early stage female entrepreneurs, including those in their first two years of trading or who haven't got their business off the ground yet.

Designed to inspire and motivate female entrepreneurs, keynote speakers will run motivational workshops and successful businesswomen will speak about their journeys and be available for questions.

There will also be signposting to local support available and facilitated group discussions with likeminded women in your local area.

Those attending the networking event will find out more about the roll out of the 'Yes You Can' programme for 2019 and in particular 'Explore It' - an initiative which targets women who are pre-start or just started trading. 'Explore It' will support participants through three one day workshops and three months buddy support from an experienced female entrepreneur and will help you turn your idea into a reality.

The bootcamps will be taking place as follows:

• Antrim & Newtownabbey- Antrim Enterprise Agency 03/06/19 10:00-16:00

• Fermanagh & Omagh- Omagh Enterprise Agency 05/06/19 10:00-16:00
