This exciting three-part project offers excellent new opportunities to young people in rural Flintshire.
The first part of the project is about giving advice and assistance to new businesses, including help for writing business plans, market research and financial planning - with support from experienced mentors.
The second part of the project is a business start-up bursary which gives enterprising young people financial help towards start-up costs like equipment, marketing and market research; with a grant of £2000 available to those aged 16 to 30, and to unemployed people over 30.
The third part of the project gives groups of school-age entrepreneurs between 11 and 16 the opportunity to attend enterprise 'taster' workshops, where they can discover the processes of setting up a business and be inspired to develop entrepreneurial ideas within their own communities.
