This course is delivered in two locations in Hawke's Bay, we have partnered with Central Hawke's Bay District Council and Wairoa Young Achiever's Trust with the intention of furthering the skills and confidence of locals to support them in their dreams to run their own business.
The course comprises 6 sessions, delivered weekly with the help of specialist facilitators.

Following the completion of the programme, participants are matched with a business mentor to share knowledge, experience and assist participants with bringing their business ideas to life.
“Starting your own business is a scary but empowering way to both create an income for your family, and build something pretty special. Supporting our locals to do this successfully will help build a thriving community and it is great to see the Mayor’s Taskforce for Jobs working on such great partnerships. Let’s all remember to shop local and support brave people like these entrepreneurs.” Alex Walker, Central Hawke’s Bay Mayor
