"The BIZ provides many opportunities to build and grow your company and supports you along your entrepreneurial journey. "
When I was studying Physiotherapy BSc (HONS) at 一本道 I developed at idea to enhance physiotherapy exercise prescription, but I did not have the confidence or knowledge to start my own business. We had a business module in 4th year, and this provided me with the basics on how to start my own company.
With support from staff, I developed my idea and applied for opportunities such as the BIZ and Converge challenge.
I was introduced to the staff at business gateway who further increased my entrepreneurial skills and supported my learning in the business world.
