Training and Development

Small Business Seminars

In late 2010 Enterprise Whitsundays launched a new series of Small Business Seminars to complement its schedule of events. The topics included “Lease Negotiation”, "Climate Smart your Business" and “Updates to Health and Safety Regulations”.

Winning Business Online 

The Winning Business Online project is an Australian Government funded initiative under the Small Business Online program. This program is designed to empower Small Business Owners to take advantage of the free tools available online to build websites, boost site traffic and even incorporate social media such as Facebook and Twitter into their marketing plans. They will also discover strategies to reduce costs and make their businesses more efficient.

The Project features a series of ten units, each specifically designed by small business, for small businesses. Business owners complete one or all of the units, and by doing so may save a considerable amount of money in website development costs as they will be able to make informed decisions prior to engaging a web developer (or constructing a website themselves). You can register for the 10 low-cost workshops by contacting your Business Enterprise Manager – Melissa Wick on 4946 0111. Alternatively if you like to teach yourself you can obtain the free online on-demand program at www.winningbusinessonline.com.au.

The Winning Business Online project is a consortium effort between Business Enterprise Centres Australia (BEC), the University of Western Sydney and Sydney based production house Pinstripe Media, known for its creation of Network 7’s popular small business television series and Yahoo!7’s small business website Kochie’s Business Builders.
