We increasing live in a time where being enterprising is seen as an aspiration for all. It offers self fulfillment and a chance to maximise our contribution to society. But not everyone gets the opportunity to bring out their enterprising streak, to grow their own business idea, to take control of their own economic destiny and thus their life?
That is why we have created a process that makes being enterprising an option for all.
The basis of our approach to job-creation are our RED (Rapid Enterprise Development) workshops.
The RED Process can be used as part of an overall service modernisation, an innovative way for
colleges to work with disabled people or economic regeneration. We can tailor it to your needs and of course we can more generally help develop social enterprises, micro enterprise development or look at the feasibility of doing so.

The Original RED workshop is designed to support the development of actual enterprise ideas being pursued by a person with a learning disability and their support team. These fully accessible workshops are delivered around specific ‘enterprise tables’, and use a range of interactive games, sessions and activities to work out the basics of a business idea, from feasibility to finance, marketing to research.
The sessions include-
• Finding The Entrepreneur
• Market Assessment
• Marketing
• Finance
• Operations
• Action Planning
Participants and their support workers finish the two day session with the confidence to assess and plan an enterprise as well as an outline business plan to work on
Training for Job coaches, support workers and others is an important part of ensuring self employment and small business ownership becomes a realistic option for people interested in finding work.
RED offers three workshops for support staff designed build the skills and capacity to support people interested in exploring self employment as well as groups interested in developing a social enterprise.
The workshops develop skills incrementally and are best used as a part of the strategic development programme but can be accessed as stand alone training.
