Create your ideal job instead of trying to find it.
Everyone welcome – no previous experience necessary. We will work with you to help you turn an interest into a business.

“But I’m not a business-person”

You’ll be surprised at how many skills you already have! Running a business isn’t that different from running a home. We’ll help and support you all the way.
“But I don’t have an idea”

We’ll help you think of some ideas either related to your interests or by identifying gaps in the market. Wherever your passion lies, we’ll work with you to make a business out of it.
Dream of starting a business, making a difference, or sharpening your entrepreneurial edge? Let this course be your launchpad. Be guided by specialists, inspired by entrepreneurial women, all whilst developing your skills in establishing a business or community venture.

TRAILBLAZERS runs from January to March across seven sessions with dates outlined below. The course is delivered by certified gender-aware advisors from Bright Red Triangle and provides a safe space to explore your knowledge and ideas, and plan where you want to go next.

Build a supportive network, master legal & financial essentials, and refine your ideas whether that means launching a business, making change in your community or bringing entrepreneurial thinking to your next venture.

TRAILBLAZERS is inclusive of Trans and Intersex women, as well as non-binary and gender diverse people who are comfortable in a space that centres the experiences of women.

Places are limited to ensure the cohort can make the most of the experience, attendance is required at all sessions so that participants can make the most of interactive elements, peer learning and community building.
