Small and home-based businesses across the north are invited to sharpen their skills in 2026, with the City of Playford's six-month workshop program at the Stretton Centre kicking off on 24 February.
Designed to support local businesses, startups and entrepreneurs, the program will cover practical topics including marketing and communication, leadership, business planning and grant writing.
The first workshop, How to use social media effectively, will be held on Tuesday, 24 February and will help small businesses take ownership of their digital presence.
This will be followed by Find Your Voice on Wednesday, 25 February, focused on building confidence and self-belief to support business growth.
Delivered by trusted providers and partners, the workshops will provide participants with practical, transferable skills they can apply straight away to help reach their business goals.
