We’re delighted to announce that, due to continued interest, the Ready to Work and SICAP programmes at South West Mayo Development is bringing back Empowered Enterprise – Entrepreneurship for Disabled People for a second year.
This fully funded programme runs over nine sessions and is designed to support disabled people who are interested in exploring self‑employment as a viable option. Participants will be supported to build confidence, develop practical enterprise skills, and gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to start and run a business, all within a welcoming and inclusive learning environment. The course was developed by Professor Thomas Cooney and team at TU Dublin.
The course is open to anyone who identifies as disabled and would like to explore self‑employment, whether they are at an early idea stage or simply want to learn more about entrepreneurship as a potential pathway.
Starting Friday, 17th April
In person – Castlebar (Lough Lannagh)
Fully funded.
If you or someone you support is interested in learning more or taking the next step towards self‑employment, we’d love to hear from you.
