New digital skills bootcamps to support Harrow's entrepreneurs

We've teamed up with London Borough of Harrow to launch a fresh series of free digital skills bootcamps to help the borough’s entrepreneurs thrive and flourish.

Together, we'll deliver a package of support that covers everything Harrow business owners and sole traders need to know to become more skilled with digital technology.

Among that support is training on how to create a compelling social media presence to boost sales, and how to sell successfully on popular online marketplaces.

The two-bootcamp initiative is designed to help Harrow businesses get online, strengthen their online presence and promote their existing online offering by adopting new technology or new digital practices.

The scheme is now open for registrations, while the first bootcamp kicks off on 29 June.

Each bootcamp consists of three consecutive weekly sessions, with the second bootcamp launching in October.

London Borough of Harrow is funding the support through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).

The programme is free to all residents or businesses based in the borough, including entrepreneurs, self-employed, sole traders, owner/managers of businesses, co-operatives and voluntary sector enterprises.

Emma Jones CBE, founder of Enterprise Nation, said:

"We know a thriving small business community creates better jobs, more innovation and contribute more to their local community.

"Enterprise Nation lives and breathes start-up and small business support every day and we really admire the ambition of Harrow Council’s forward-thinking plans to boost the borough’s economy by supporting the local self-starters.

"We look forward to working with all those starting a business or in the early stages in this brilliant entrepreneurial borough."
