📢 We’re pleased to be helping with these workshops in February and encourage young people to register their interest now.

The King’s Trust Enterprise Workshops are a free, in-person two-day course designed for people aged 18-30 who want to learn how to start and run a business. Across the two days, you’ll gain practical business skills, explore enterprise fundamentals, and connect with like-minded peers. 💪💡📈

After completing the workshop, you’ll have access to a 10-week accelerator course, mentoring and networking opportunities and potential to access funding for your business.
