The Hepburn Shire Council are partnering with Business Victoria to provide the first free small business face-to-face workshops for 2023.

The workshops are being facilitated by Monarch Institute and are being held in Daylesford and Creswick.

The workshops provide an opportunity for business operators to participate in person and network with other small business owners. In addition to in-person workshops, a host of free online webinars for businesses will be provided.  These are being offered across multiple days and times and provide an opportunity to enhance social media skills and strategies.

Mayor, Cr Brian Hood, said it is great to see in-person workshops once again being offered to support business owners and operators across the Shire.

“Whether you are a small business owner, operator, sole trader or looking to start a business, Council is committed to working with you to offer free in-person and online learning opportunities, along with Small Business bus visits,” he said.

 “We encourage small business owners to get on board and explore these unique opportunities to learn and network.”
