Register for our New ESF Programme - Connect

We could all do with some support or practical advice when faced with the challenges of finding a job or starting a business. That is where the CONNECT programme can help.

On 15th September, at Belfast City Hall, Women in Business will launch its new ESF (European Social Fund) funded programme, CONNECT.

CONNECT has an important part to play in Women in Business’ (WIB) strategic direction. WIB is the foremost organisation promoting the huge potential of women and the role we play in the economic development of Northern Ireland. We are delighted to be leading this exciting programme. The programme works specifically with women who are unemployed or economically inactive, many in the most deprived communities. As a result, the programme will not only maximise the potential of participants, but also those communities who afford to gain most.

If you, or someone you know would be interested in taking part in the programme, we’d be delighted to see them on the 15th. To register, contact Kerry Harding- kerry@womeninbusinessni.com 

If you aren’t able to attend, you can still register on our website:

The programme provides a one stop shop for any woman who is currently unemployed or economically inactive who may find themselves at a crossroads. It offers a range of ongoing support including training, mentoring and peer support. It aims to inspire, support, motivate, and encourage women to move into further training, secure jobs or to start up their own business.

Delivered in a supportive environment, CONNECT is tailored to the needs of women considering their future. Evidence shows female-specific support is most effective in progressing women, particularly by providing support through female peers and role models. The programme is flexible and accessible, fitting with other commitments and responsibilities.

CONNECT is delivered by Women in Business NI, in partnership with East Belfast Enterprise, funded by Department for Employment and Learning- European Social Fund, and Belfast City Council.
