Self-Employment Assistance Program (Previously NEIS)
Entrepreneurship Pathway
The approach that was taken in developing the Entrepreneurship Pathway is to provide you with the practical and fundamental skills that you need to operate a business. This program is designed to encourage you to challenge the status quo, develop critical thinking skills and round out your ideas with a bigger picture in mind. We want to provide the pathway for you to succeed in business as well as give you real-world skills to take with you in any future venture.
This program is fully subsidised and is delivered at no cost to you.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Entrepreneurship Pathway is self-led through our online portal, but you have access to weekly check-ins with your mentor, boot camps and extra support. This gives participants the flexibility to complete the training at their own pace, however, the training must be completed within 12 weeks.
WHO IS IT FOR?
The Entrepreneurship Pathway is for people who:
• Have a business idea and what to start off right!
• Are in the early stage of business and want to either grow their business or make sure they are on the right track
• Are a micro business with up to 5 employees (including the business owner)
THE EXPERIENCE
• Training | As a part of this program, you will receive a BSB40320 Certificate IV Entrepreneurship and New Business, at the end of your learning experience, you will have set your goals, business model and have an action plan to get started!
