As part of the programme, successful candidates received weekly sessions
with business experts focusing on aspects such as marketing, financial
management, and attracting customers.
As well as expert support, participants also received £1000 in financial
support to develop their business idea. A further opportunity was also given
for one individual within each cohort to win an additional £1,000 in a
competition at the end of each training programme.
This initiative also focused on the challenges that exist within the ARFOR
area, such as:
How do we keep young people in the ARFOR area?
How do you add value through the Welsh language?
How could value be added to local resources and assets?
Do you want to start or develop a new business?
