With the highest percentage of workers running their own business and the lowest start-up failure rate in the country, Tasmania is the place to be an entrepreneur, and a new program has been launched to help tradespeople do just that.
The AtoB (Apprentice to Business Owner) Program, run in Tasmania jointly by Business Advice Tasmania and darylconnelly.com as part of a Federal Government initiative, arms tradespeople with essential business skills.
Starting in June, the free program comprises workshops and one-on-one mentoring. Participants complete a business plan for their own business and graduate with a Certificate IV in Small Business and a host of skills to start them off on the right business track.
