NewsGiving Women What They Want
NovaSci has completed a report into Women's Enterprise. The report was based on a survey into the needs of women in the North of the West Midlands. Most surprising was the fact that women were far more likely to want to start a business if they have never known an entrepreneur.
Based on the research, which identified barriers to education and enterprise, a new business skills training course will be delivered by NovaSci in Staffordshire.
