How women can turn creative flair into a business opportunity

Are you a woman wanting to start a business in a creative industry but not sure where to start? If so, look out for New FREE courses coming soon to West Sussex.

As part of the ‘Keep West Sussex Working’ project, the County Council is funding courses to help women turn their creative flair into a business opportunity.

The location, dates and times of courses will be determined to suit those interested.

Many women explore creative skills and talents, such as painting, sculpting or designing, through hobbies and workshops. These courses will consist of workshops and coaching sessions designed to help women to take this a stage further, and establish creative enterprises that will work for them.

They will discuss how to overcome challenges and barriers to business start-up and employment in West Sussex, developing skills in business planning, marketing and accounting.

West Sussex County Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment and Economy, Deborah Urquhart, said: “Any woman with a creative flair should really take advantage of this opportunity.

“The courses could turn passion and enthusiasm of a creative skill into a driving force for local economic renewal in the county.

Although West Sussex County Council is funding these courses, they will be run by the not-for-profit organisation Women’s Wisdom.

The organisation runs a variety of workshops to support the personal growth of people in all stages of life, and believes that ‘artistic exploration naturally brings greater self-knowledge’.

Deborah adds, “This really is the wiser way to start up your creative business so, if you’re interested, contact the organisation and locations and dates can be chosen.”

The Crawley Happy Times says good luck to all the women looking to start up their own creative business. We’re sure that the course offered by Women’s Wisdom above will get your business going in no time!
