These free workshops are for people who are under-represented, under-supported and under-funded in entrepreneurship

Belfast City Council’s Inclusive Enterprise Pathway virtual workshops are for people who may not have previously considered enterprise a viable career pathway, those considering working for themselves, or those who may have an early-stage business idea but aren’t sure of where to go for entrepreneurial support.

Those who identify as neurodivergent, individuals who experience disability or a long-term health condition (or both), people who identify as women or non-binary, and those from ethnic minority or global majority backgrounds are particularly encouraged to sign up for these events.

The workshops are free for residents of the Belfast City Council area.
