From financing your community business and growing sales, to managing your customers and embracing change to make your business thrive. The Plunkett Foundation Training Hub offers a programme of events that develop your skills and knowledge and allow you to network with experts and other community businesses.
Our latest webinars and workshops, both online and in person, are completely FREE to attend thanks to programme sponsorship by Triodos Bank and Creventa. The webinars focus on Community Pubs, but principles apply to all community businesses, both new and existing, and all are welcome to attend. Each session will last 1 hour with the opportunity to ask questions of both trainer and other community-businesses.
The webinars are available to all community businesses at whatever stage of their journey.
