Free advice for would be entrepreneurs

Ever considered beating the recession by working for yourself? If so, RACC (Richmond Adult Community College) can help.

The College is staging a Careers & Enterprise Day next Thursday (November 19) offering free, expert, advice to anyone thinking about setting up their own business, planning a career change or looking to return to work.

Visitors will have the opportunity to discuss career options, receive advice on further study and skills, get help with preparing CVs and be able to talk with exhibitors and speakers. There will be free seminars and workshops covering a wide range of topics.

The Careers & Enterprise Day, which coincides with Global Entrepreneurship Week, marks the latest phase of RACC’s on-going programme designed to help people cope with the effects of the recession.

The prime purpose of the event is to provide practical advice on starting a business, as well as developing existing skills and acquiring new ones to help people progress their existing careers or improve their chances of finding employment.

The Careers & Enterprise Day is being held between 2pm and 7pm at the College in Parkshot, Richmond. For further information visit www.racc.ac.uk/enterpriseday  email events@racc.ac.uk or call 020 8891 5907.
