Impact Story
We have designed, facilitated and participated in many start-up programmes and these often fail participants, especially those in the intersections of age, gender, colour, ‘ability’ and wealth/class.
For an older person to make the successful transition to self-employment, they must first build up their confidence and resilience. The course addresses many of the self-limiting beliefs preventing participants from taking the steps necessary to transition their career, whether that be into self-employment or otherwise.
Diverse Social Enterprise
The TRANSFORM Support Hub is committed to accelerating diverse owned and led enterprises to build more equitable and resilient supply chains.
