An opportunity has rose for young people in Cumbria to come and learn all things business, business start-up and entrepreneurship for two days in Whitehaven this summer.
The Entrepreneurs Group (TEG) who are based in Whitehaven are the company behind the project, which is spearheaded by serial entrepreneur Keith McMean, who has a successful career spanning 3 decades in launching, running, and exiting successful companies and in his work as an artist.
The company are offering those aged between 16-25 a fully funded place on the two-day training programme which is being held in the Bus Station in the centre of Whitehaven, which is a new business development complex aimed at championing start-ups and young entrepreneurs.
Keith spoke of his desire to nurture and help young business minds, he said: “The world of entrepreneurship and starting and growing a business is rewarding and full of fulfilment. The concept of encouraging and championing new business ideas and diversity in young talent is exciting and important. Sometimes, those with ideas just need the guidance and support to see them through, especially if that person isn’t already surrounded by those with the mind of an entrepreneur.”
“Young entrepreneurs are a new untapped area for the traditionally old-fashioned county of Cumbria, so we’ve took on the challenge and ready to help and guide the young Richard Branson’s of the county.”
The in-person programme which is taking place on August 19th and 20th will cover expert advice for setting up a new business, sales, marketing strategy, cashflow forecasting and why it’s so important, building a tribe (team), using technology in your business, how to innovate and disrupt and creating a business plan with the Business Model Canvas (BMC).
