Full Circle WEETU Training Program

I've just started a certified (Open College Network) business course just for women, the first in Suffolk, run by WEETU (Womens Employment and Training Unit) and funded by the European Development Agency (EEDA). Its going really well and is designed for women who want to start up in business especially those who have families. I've met a really great bunch of women on the course and we are learning so much by talking to each other and sharing experiences.

The course is fully funded and includes childcare expenses for under 5's which is ideal for me. If you are a woman and thinking of setting up your own business I would recommend finding out if this program is in your area.

Next week we start the marketing session so I'm hoping to pick up some handy hints for Green Eyed Frog and Royal Cottage.

  2. Emma - Thanks for your cooments...
    Its in Ipswich at the moment and in a few weeks Beccles. If you email Sally Gregsory at WEETU s.gregory@weetu.org or give them a ring on 01603 216399 (better to ring up for a chat).

    You get access to loans, advice, a support network and brilliant training by women who are in business themselves.
