THURSDAY, JUNE 13 · 9:30 - 15:00│NEW CENTURY, MANCHESTER, M4 4AH

Festival of Enterprise

Back by popular demand! Festival of Enterprise returns in 2024 after the resounding success of the 2022 event! Mark your calendars for Wednesday 13th June, 9.30am to 3pm at the vibrant New Century venue in the heart of Manchester City Centre.

Are you over 50 and seeking a new direction? Perhaps you’ve recently moved into self-employment, started a new business, or are wanting to make a career change. Kick-start your development now with our bespoke programme of support.

Whatever you’re facing, whether financial issues, instability with work, health barriers or not knowing what step to take next, EnterprisingYou is here to support you.

Despite rising employment rates for those over 50, this age category continues to face greater difficulty in accessing work-related training and re-entering employment than younger age groups (Centre for Aging Better). At EnterprisngYou, we believe this needs to change. Join our programme and increase your access to the resources you need.

Fifty plus is the perfect time to direct your skills and knowledge towards a fresh challenge, and we are here to help make that happen.

If you are a self-employed resident of Greater Manchester and have personal total earnings of less than £27,000 p/a, please sign up to our fully-funded programme for FREE and receive support that is tailored to your needs.

What our clients say

EnterprisingYou is such a personal journey as much as a business one and I am grateful to Clare (Business Coach) for her understanding, support and encouragement for the future. It has really helped me embrace accountability ... as well as the ability to accommodate flexible plans during challenging uncertainty.
