<H2>About the Silver Workers project</H2>
At Staffordshire University we have a project to support over 50s who want some enterprise and skills training or are looking to start their own business. This will help develop both the confidence, mind-set and skills in this area. It is worth remembering that people in their 40s and 50s are the most likely to start up a business.
