Starting a Business
Commissioned by the University of Manchester, Partnership WTP has drawn on it’s vast knowledge and experience in business start up to develop a bespoke 2 day workshop providing wide-ranging information and guidance to participants on starting a business.
Working with The University of Manchester, Partnership WTP have used their extensive experience of new business start up to develop a 2 day workshop for University employees. The workshop is aimed at helping the participants to understand the opportunities and challenges of starting a business, thus enabling them to consider it as a viable option for any future career choices.
