Inclusive Enterprise Pathway programme

This programme supports under-represented individuals who would like to learn more about self-employment and starting a business

Belfast City Council and The Mind Tribe UK have launched the newly developed Inclusive Enterprise Pathway, a programme supporting individuals who would like to learn more about self-employment or are considering starting their own business.

As part of the programme, there are fully-funded virtual workshops, drop-in clinics at 2 Royal Avenue, and free in-house workshops that can be delivered in collaboration with your organisation.

There is also a fully-funded Enhanced Mentoring Programme for groups that have been historically under-represented, under-supported and under-funded in Entrepreneurship.
