Southern Business Mentoring Workshop Program

As part of the ongoing commitment to strengthen the local business community, the Southern Business Mentoring Program is thrilled to announce the extended benefits of its 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, City of Holdfast Bay, and the District Council of Yankalilla, the Southern Business Mentoring Program has already made a significant impact by offering businesses free mentoring and business coaching.

With this recent funding boost, Southern Adelaide businesses will 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 are encouraged to seek more information and register via the Southern Business Mentoring Program Eventbrite.

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.
