Start Her Up Support Programme
23 June 2022
Enterprise Northern Ireland in partnership with Ulster Bank have launched the Start Her Up support programme. This programme aims to encourage young women to explore self-employment. You can sign up to this support programme whether you have an idea of what you’d like to do, have already started trading on a small scale or you’re just interested in being your own boss.
Supporting female entrepreneurship, this programme provides support through workshops, mentoring, a bespoke personal development plan and a pitching competition. Participants in this programme have an opportunity to win up to a £1,000 incentive to take your business or idea to the next level.
Who is eligible?
Start Her Up welcomes all young women aged 18 to 40, particularly encouraging registrations from:
- young BAME women
- young women living with a disability
- young women living with neurodiversity to register
Taking part in the programme will:
