Who could benefit from these workshops and 1-2-1s?
We know that some people have lost or are going to loose their job. Some are going to be on reduced hours. These workshops would help anyone considering what starting a business or self employment/sub-contract work would mean, people who might be considering:
- Working for themselves – being self employed
- Being a sub contractor
- How to be an entrepreneur that succeeds
- Using online sites (like Etsy) to make money
Part of Reading’s Recovery Plan
The workshops are free for people to attend. They are funded through Reading UK as part of the recovery plans for residents and the local economy.
