WSREC are delighted to announce the launch of their Glasgow ‘Bridge to Business – Minority Ethnic Pathway to Progress’ project.

The project is designed to empower under-represented minority ethnic communities in Glasgow, particularly women, by reducing barriers to entrepreneurship, gaining business skills, and overcoming barriers to entry in the business world.

You can learn more about the free courses, below, and in the attached leaflet.

Project Services

Bridge to Business is a tailored programme aimed at empowering and supporting early-stage entrepreneurs from minority ethnic communities, particularly women. The project offers:

  • Business Skills Workshops: These workshops will introduce fundamental business concepts and planning, financial literacy, and digital skills required to establish and sustain businesses.
  • One-to-one support and Mentorship: Personalised guidance, helping participants navigate business registration, and networking opportunities.
  • Networking Opportunities: Connecting participants with organisations that help in setting up businesses.

Who is it for?

The project is open to individuals from minority ethnic backgrounds, particularly women, who are interested in starting or developing a business. Whether they are just starting with an idea or are interested in building business skills, the support is tailored to meet the client’s requirements.
