PEOPLE AND SKILLS
In October Watford Borough Council funded an inspirational, FREE online business skills programme, delivered by The Rebel Business School. The most popular on-demand video content is now available to watch free of charge for anyone in Watford looking to start their own business or have recently started and need support to get going or to grow the business to the next level:
Do you have too many business ideas floating around your head and struggling to pick which one to go for?
How to Choose The Right Idea is made for you.
Have you got your idea chosen but need a helping hand to make progress and get moving?
Getting Unstuck will help get you on the right track.
If you don’t have an online presence, you’re missing out on customers and opportunities.
Our Getting Online video will show you how you can be online today and without spending any money.
All of these videos are available for free for a limited time for Watford residents.
