BOOSTING WOMEN IN BUSINESS
Boosting Women in Business provides intensive support to boost the confidence and self-esteem of women across Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire.
Through a series of workshops and one to one mentoring, we offer a safe and supportive environment where women can learn to understand the value of their skill sets, and how these can translate into running their own business.
Taking part in Boosting Women in Business will inspire ideas and fully support the transition to self-employment.
This project is funded by the NatWest Skills & Opportunities Fund.
