REBOOT launches a range of relevant training and networking opportunities for businesses and their staff

It has been an extraordinarily challenging 18 months for businesses and social enterprises in Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo. As we emerge and businesses struggle to make sense of a post-Covid and Brexit environment REBOOT can help.

REBOOT training and networking will prioritise resiliency, agility, cost management, innovation, health and safety and sales. All critically important to business.

REBOOT is a LEADER-funded initiative aimed at businesses and social enterprises in Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo.

Aim of the REBOOT Programme:

REBOOT is a Co-Operative project between Sligo LEADER Partnership CLG, Roscommon LEADER Partnership CLG, South West Mayo Development Company and the Local Enterprise Offices of Sligo, Mayo and Roscommon. This LEADER initiative is aimed at businesses and social enterprises in Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo.

Reboot has identified 3 critical areas to assist businesses/social enterprises/community groups post C19:

Online Marketing, e-commerce and e-marketing supports
Adapting your business for future opportunities and challenges
Minimising risks and optimising Health & Safety

Over the course of the next 18 months, organisations can access tailored training courses, get expert advice and tips on a 1:1 basis, and have the opportunity to network with their peers at organised events where they can share experiences and address challenges they face.
