Local businesses, schools and voluntary organisations across Mid & West Wales are being urged to take part in next week’s Enterprise week, which aims to encourage and celebrate all aspects of enterprise in the area.
Labour AM JOYCE WATSON is calling on anyone with an interest to organise an event or get involved with a range of activities which are being planned to mark the week-long initiative which begins on Monday, 17th November.
This year’s event will also be part of the first ever Global Entrepreneurship Week. With more than 70 countries taking part, it will address big global issues including poverty reduction and climate change. More than 200 Enterprise Week events are already being planned across Wales, with the support of the Labour-led Welsh Assembly Government.
Joyce Watson AM said:
“Mid & West Wales is full of entrepreneurs, making the backbone of the region. As someone who has run small businesses locally I know how hard it can be, but also how rewarding it is.
“Enterprise Week is about encouraging people to have ideas and to make them happen. This can be starting up a new business, social enterprise, or by having ideas and making them happen in the workplace.
“I am delighted to see schools getting involved, so that our children and young people are given both an awareness of business and enterprise and a chance to develop the necessary skills. I hope that this year’s Enterprise Week helps to unleash young people’s enterprising ideas and address some of society’s biggest issues, from poverty reduction through to climate change.
The Labour-led Assembly Government has also made sure that practical help and expert advice will be at hand to assist Welsh businesses and entrepreneurs meet their ambitions and face the challenges of the global economic downturn.
By bringing together businesses, schools, government and voluntary organisations, I am confident that Enterprise Week will help us to turn the corner and get more and more people involved and thinking about how can use their enterprise skills in many areas of their life.”
