Avondhu Blackwater Partnership will be running an 8 week Marketing Skills Course for business owners in the Avondhu Blackwater region, commencing in the last week of September. The purpose of the course is to increase the competitiveness of the participants, secure increased business and foster growth.
Rather than simply teach academic marketing information, the course provider will instead conduct individual needs assessments prior to commencement to shape the curriculum, and as a result the topics covered will address the individual challenges faced by each of the participants.
At the completion of the course the participants will have created a tailored marketing plan to suit their own business requirements, with their own input. Follow up support will also be provided for the 12 months following the completion of the course to enable any required corrective action and to ensure the plan is kept relevant to the changing market.
The course will commence at the end of September and there are 12 places on offer. Those interested in participating should contact Alan Buckley at alanb@avondhublackwater.com or 025 33411 for application forms.
This course is funded under the Rural Devlopment Programme 2007-2013.
