Want to explore the idea of starting a business, but don’t know where to start? The Neurodivergent Start-up Launchpad is an 8-week programme designed specifically to guide neurodiverse individuals step by step.
Whether you’re brimming with ideas or just beginning to think about your options, this programme will help you grow in confidence, explore self-employment, and discover whether running a business is right for you.
Who is this for? This course is specifically focused on the neurodiverse community.
- No official diagnosis required: Whether you are formally diagnosed, on a waiting list, or self-identify as neurodivergent, you are strictly welcome here.
