If you need enterprise training, then the personalised enterprise action plan that Venture Taranaki will create for you will include a range of training options available either here in the region or elsewhere, from short courses to one-on-one coaching programmes. You will then have the opportunity to meet with the training providers directly before committing to a course of action. Your Enterprise Advisor will be there to help you weigh up your options, and will follow up with you to ensure you are getting the help you need to grow your business.
