Small Business / Micro-Enterprise workshop
National Disability Services (NDS) SA is currently inviting state-wide expressions of interest to people living with a disability, their families and/or direct support workers to participate in a 2 day workshop designed to explore small start-up businesses and microenterprise as an employment option.
The two day workshop covers:

The workshops will be facilitated by Dr Guy Turnbull who co-wrote and delivers Rapid Enterprise Development workshops for people living with disability across the UK.
