Catalyst Business Network for Women in South & East Cork

Posted by David O Byrne on March 8, 2011

South & East Cork Area Development (SECAD) is setting up a network for women in business in South & East Cork.  The aim of the network is to provide information, tools, networking and learning opportunities, and advice to women who are starting out or want to grow their business.  It will provide opportunities for members to build connections with other business women and aspiring entrepreneurs in their own area and throughout South and East Cork.


 
Who?

It is aimed at:
-       Women who are thinking about starting their own business.  These budding entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to meet with women who are already in business and to hear their stories.
-        Business women who want to grow their business and take it to the next level.
Why?

Research has shown that women approach being in business in a different way.  Women have different motivations for going into business and different pressures in their personal lives.  Members will be able to take part in training, mentoring and networking events designed specifically for women.
 
Where?

Networking events will be held in:
-     Ballincollig                                     -     Carrigaline                         -     Youghal
-     Cobh                                                -     Midleton
 
Training will be held in central locations.
 
How?

-     Networking Events                   -     Training Events              -     One to One Mentoring

When?

The first networking event will be starting soon.  Please ring Sinéad in SECAD at 021 4613432 or email sconroy@secad.ie to register your interest.
