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.
