Workshops

Workshops and workshop programmes typically weave business skills and personal development. After participation, people have said they

• feel more confident
• are clearer about what to do/what needs to be done
• felt supported through change
• have more information and experience of specific skills
• have met and learnt from other interesting participants

Current Examples:

• Expressos - short (1-2hr), multi-media workshops on business/life issues
• Advisor Training – 2 day programme to train staff to provide career support
• She's the Business Programme – 4 day programme for women committed to starting in business
• Removing Employment Barriers for Women – 1 day workshops for returners
• Time Out for Women – 2 day review programme for existing businesswomen

Case Study: Woman's Programme Nine groups of 8-16 women took part in a programme designed to support them in starting their own businesses. Designed, managed and delivered by Alchemy in Company, each programme comprised 5 workshop sessions, advisory and coaching support and informal networking. The workshop sessions covered planning, marketing, finance and raised awareness about skills required to be successful in business. Experts in 7 specialist areas and successful role models also gave their advice.

Approximately 50% of participants started their businesses within 6 months and group members continue to meet informally for networking. We continue to support this networking activity.
