Designed to help business owners grow their skills.Southern Business Mentoring Workshop Program
As part of the ongoing commitment to strengthen the local business community, the Southern Business Mentoring Program now has extended benefits through the Small Business Fundamentals Grant, made possible through the backing of South Australia’s Small Business Strategy.
In collaboration with City of Marion, City of Onkaparinga, and City of Holdfast Bay, the Southern Business Mentoring Program has already made a significant impact by offering businesses free mentoring and business coaching.
With this funding boost, Southern Adelaide businesses now have access to subsidised business workshops, designed to increase skills across a range of topics.
Businesses eager to benefit from the extended Southern Business Mentoring Program can access subsidised appointments following their initial free apppointment by making a booking through the 1:1 mentoring page.
The Southern Business Mentoring Program Extension Service is an initiative of the Government of South Australia’s Office for Small and Family Business and the South Australian Small Business Strategy 2023 – 2030.
