Are you an organisation working with economically inactive people in the Lisburn & Castlereagh area?

Go Succeed has just launched the 'Get Started in Business Programme', in Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council.

A new exciting pre-enterprise support programme, for those who are economically inactive, to support them to explore and start a business. This support is for people in Lisburn & Castlereagh who are not currently in paid work.

This can include those:
✅ Taking a break from work and not actively seeking a job in the past month
✅ Unable to start work in the next couple of weeks
✅ Retired
✅ In full-time education
✅ Caring for a family member or friend
✅ Living with a long-term illness or disability

Launching this month, the Go Succeed Start a Business Programme will offer support, workshops, one to one mentoring and the opportunity for grant support.

We are inviting you to come along and find out more so that you can bring this service to your service users in your community.

Join us for a 1 hour online workshop, where you will learn:
✅ What the Go Succeed 'Get Started in Business Programme is
✅ What it means to be economically inactive? ie Students, retired individual, carer etc.
✅ Key dates, times and workshops taking place over the next few weeks.
✅ How participants on the programme can receive up to 10 hours mentoring and outline the bespoke mentoring framework created for this target audience group
✅ How to refer participants to this service
