Newport Business Start-Up Course

The Event

Across four weeks, you’ll have the chance to explore your options, uncover your strengths, and start building the confidence you need to take those first steps. This programme is designed to help you turn your passions and ideas into a business or a career that feels truly rewarding! 😄

And the best part? You don’t need to arrive with a business idea — we’ll support you in sparking one as you go. If you discover that self-employment isn’t the right fit, that’s completely fine too. This is a safe and supportive space to learn, be inspired, and figure out what path works best for you.

With plenty of guidance, encouragement, and zero pressure, it’s all about giving yourself the chance to grow, explore, and see what’s possible. 🙌

This project is funded by Newport City Council.
