Supporting Female Entrepreneurship

W.R.E.N – Women’s Rural Entrepreneurial Network
Through the WREN programme, SECAD in partnership with Ballyhoura Development supports women who wish to become self-employed, who are already in the early stages of business development or who already have an established business.
Online Networking Sessions with Guest Speakers
SECAD Partnership & Ballyhoura Development hold bi-monthly online networking sessions where an invited guest delivers a presentation on a topic of interest for women in business and also provides the opportunity to network online with fellow entrepreneurs.
Details about the December online networking session can be found here.
If you have any questions or would like to find out more about the WREN programme, contact Frances Doyle
