PUBLIC NOTICE: INVITATION TO WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS WORKSHOP

The Economic Development Unit of the George Municipality is hosting a workshop for Women Entrepreneurs on Thursday, 20 April 2023. The workshop aims to empower small and medium entrepreneurs (SMMEs) in George, to start and grow sustainable businesses and organisations. The workshop’s essence is to encourage, equip, and facilitate their entrepreneurial drives and growth.

Entrepreneurship requires one to possess high interest and commitment. Therefore, entrepreneurs must always equip themselves with information and knowledge on ins and outs of the business. Knowledge and skills in financial management, business administration, information technology (IT) and marketing would be very helpful for them in determining the direction of their business.

The workshop is for those women who have already established businesses and who would like to take their businesses to the next level.

Interested women entrepreneurs should register by RSVP Ntombi by Tuesday, 12 April 2023 on 044 801 9471 or email nnobebe@george.gov.za. Only the first 25 registrations will be accommodated on a first-come-first-served basis.
