Free Software for Your Business. 24 September at 2pm
Setting up a business can be expensive and commercial software to assist in your day to day activities can add to this expense. There are, however, some excellent ?cloud based? software packages that are more than suitable as an alternative and do not come with an expensive monthly or annual licence.?Book here.

Next course starts Autumn 2020
 An analysis of businesses that have enrolled on the programme up to December 2019 shows that nearly 50% of SMEs across the Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire (D2N2) area do not have a sustainability policy. While this is just one indicator of practice, it represents a significant area of development and opportunity for local small and medium-sized businesses.
This course has been developed to support managers and employees within local small businesses. Participants will learn how to enhance their personal appreciation and become a change-maker, post-COVID-19, in their own life and work.
By taking part in this training, you will gain an understanding of:
- how climate and COVID-19 bounce off one another
- how business is affected by the climate, and vice versa
- the impact different sectors such as food and drink have on our climate, and vice versa
- climate change mitigation tools for your role at work or/and business function
- recovery and change strategies
- solutions with the highest impact: in your personal life and in your role at work
- the different options with regards to contemporary economic theories on how SMEs and individuals can rebuild post-COVID-19 by doing things differently and adopting a more sustainable approach
To express an interest for you or your colleagues to take part, email [email protected] for information on securing a place on upcoming dates.
