Together with NetStripes, the Education and Skills Development department recently launched the new business savvy workshop Digital Boot Camp to get you fit for doing business online. The first Digital Boot Camp workshop was held at our Education centre at Norwest during August with 17 people in attendance.
Funded by the NSW Government, Business Connect is a dedicated and personalised NSW Government program that provides trusted advice to help you start or grow your small business. The program is organised by NetStripes in partnership with Master Builders Association.
Designed specifically for the building and construction industry, Digital Bootcamp is a must-attend event for small business owners looking to take their business to the next level. In the one-day intensive workshop, you will gain the knowledge and confidence you need to help you succeed online.
All participants in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and agreed it was an insightful and interactive experience. The workshop is facilitated by keynoter Dinesh DeSilva, founder of NetStripes. As a previous board member of several businesses, Dinesh shares with participants a wealth of knowledge and experience. He is passionate about helping small businesses grow with new and innovative digital strategies.
Adding to our staple of construction industry qualifications and safety courses, Master Builders is dedicated to diversifying our range of training products. “We are delivering on our promise to members to provide a broader range of business and management courses to assist business owners, operators and their teams with improving their skills. The Digital Boot Camp is one workshop you don’t want to miss. Presented by Dinesh from NetStripes, the workshop provides invaluable knowledge delivered by an inspirational speaker,” explains Sarah Hardy, Sales and Marketing Manager, Master Builders Education and Skills Development.
As part of registering for the workshop, small business owners in NSW qualify for a bonus 4 hours of one-on-one digital marketing advisory, funded by the NSW Government. This offer is extremely valuable to anyone who wants to improve their marketing strategies.
