The Ignite Program 2021 concluded with a successful Graduation Food Tour in central Dandenong. The graduates were delighted to network and enjoy the great food from the local Afghan restaurant.
Previous participant Cat Lane, the founder of Virtual Movement Studio said: “Participating in the Ignite Program with Greater Dandenong Council has been a real highlight of my 2021. Through the Ignite Program I have had the opportunity to regularly meet with other small business owners and entrepreneurs, as well as be mentored by successful business professionals. A combination of pragmatic business support and a high level of accountability have helped me to gain new clarity on the best direction for my business moving forward”.
Given the success of last years’ Ignite Program, Council will be facilitating the program again this year which is scheduled to begin in March. If you are looking to start a business or need help with your start-up, this program may just be for you. The Ignite Program offers free workshops and one-on-one mentoring for people who are looking to start a new business.
“Since completing the Ignite Program I have taken action to shift my business from a yoga teacher operating as a sole trader (and on the verge of burnout) to successfully launching an online teaching platform and running my own Virtual Movement Studio. For anyone seeking to start or grow their business I couldn’t recommend this program more highly and now look forward to reconnecting with new friends and colleagues in the future,” Cat said.
