The Self Employment Toolkit
Overview
This session will highlight the key ‘first steps’ in starting something and working for yourself. This will be an incredibly practical session focussed entirely on identifying and sharing useful tools and resources to use directly within a self-employed context. Whether you are joining this session to further your passion, get a new project off the ground or to launch a brand new business idea, this workshop is made for people who are striking out on their own with a new, exciting idea.
This session will be tailored to the specific audience of individual participants in the room, building on their own experiences and stories and answering your questions direct.
