What we do
We provide self-employment programmes for those with additional barriers. We work with over 50's and young people, giving them real life enterprise experiences. We also have a specialist service for women looking to get into self-employment or enterprise.
Why we are a CIO
We identified that mainstream business support is not fit for purpose and too expensive for our client group. Enterprise Junction aims to fill that gap by providing high quality specialist self-employment support, to give people the confidence, practical skills and ongoing support to start their own business.
What are the benefits of what we do?
Self-employment has been proven as a root to employment for many of our client groups, for example, ex-offenders, lone parents and people with physical and mental disabilities. We enable people to fulfil their potential and contribute to society, including wealth creation and employment for others. More people than ever are becoming self-employed and we give them the skills and confidence to succeed.
Why should you get involved
Enterprise Junction's primary purpose is to enable our participants to access our support for free. We depend on donations and generous partners to help us us provide this invaluable service.
