Rapid Enterprise Development |
Self-employment and small business ownership is becoming an increasingly popular route to work for people with learning difficulties interested in using their skills and talents to create their own employment opportunities.
We have been supporting people to explore self employment, social enterprises and co-operative options for over 25 years by developing a range of tools resources and guides to help people on their business journey.
We work with supported employment providers, job coaches, local authorities, colleges, and voluntary sector organisations to include self employment as part of their support offer.

Projects
The STARTUP e-Learning Programme aims to provide the tools and effective working practices that will enable more disabled people to explore entrepreneurship and self-employment. By recognising the important social and economic contribution that disabled people can make, STARTUP shows its commitment to improving employment rates by bringing together a number of social engagement organisations to create an e-learning platform to inspire tomorrow’s youth workers, job coaches and facilitators.
