Welcome to Enterprise Junction CIO
Empowering lives through enterprise
Enterprise Junction are a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) set up in June 2018. We specialise in helping people with additional barriers become self-employed or start a business to transform their lives. Not only do we provide business support but we help build the confidence and self-esteem of our clients which is essential for them to flourish. Our business coaches and mentors understand the barriers that our participants face and use tried and tested techniques to help them overcome their challenges.
We are aware that mainstream business support is either too expensive or not fit for purpose for our client group and so we work with selected organisations and partners to provide and facilitate the training and support required to help individuals empower their lives. We work through our partners to support offenders, ex-offenders, long term unemployed and others who have experienced barriers to starting their own business. We also run enterprise programmes for young people and have a dedicated women’s business advisor.
