Free online 'Yes You Can' bootcamp supports females in business

'Yes You Can' is a Female Enterprise Programme in collaboration between the 11 Local Councils, Invest NI and Women in Business, delivered throughout Northern Ireland.

The final 'Yes You Can Imagine It' bootcamp of year two is aimed to help women who have an idea, are at pre-start or early stage trading in business.

Nicky Scott, Head of Programmes at Women in Business and Project Manager for Yes You Can explained: ''If you see an opportunity, are considering starting your own business or are at the early stages of trading and want to explore how your business can adapt during this time, Imagine It will inspire and support you through mini workshops, inspirational speakers and allow you to virtually meet other like-minded women.

''During the morning you will hear from the fabulous, entertaining, culinary mastermind Paula McIntyre as she shares her entrepreneurial story, as well as those 'boiling point' moments and the key 'ingredients' to success.

''There will be signposting on local support available and a panel discussion with incredible local entrepreneurs Johann Muldoon MBE and Fiona Bradley of Fiona Bradley Training and Consulting where women will have the opportunity to ask important questions.''

Meet the Entrepreneurs

The popular chef will be joined by an incredible panel, including entrepreneurs Johann Muldoon MBE, multi award winning architect and Managing Director of Manor Architects; Fiona Bradley, founder and Director of Fiona Bradley Training & Consultancy Limited; and local council representatives who will provide support and advice.
