Masterclass series to support your business growth
Masterclass series to support your business growth.
StartUp Croydon’s Masterclass series is designed to support small business leaders as they navigate their startup journey to become established businesses.
We are engaging with local providers to bring sessions that will educate and inspire you to continually evolve your business and reach for the next level.
This month we are delighted to welcome Emma and Luke to talk on the subject of equality and diversity.
The Equality and Diversity Masterclass will look at: –
• How improving your understanding of Inclusion and Diversity will pay huge dividends to even the smallest of businesses
• How making your website more accessible can help you tap into £274b worth of ‘purple’ spending power
• How you can find disabled talent and how it won’t cost you a penny to recruit and retain them as you grow your business.
• The wider equality, diversity and inclusion agenda
• Windrush anniversary
• Luke’s Story
