Pathways to Start - Introduction

Join the Pathways to Start, an introductory webinar designed to give you an overview of the Pathways to Start Programme and help you decide whether it’s right for you.

This session will introduce our fully funded, six-week online programme for people living in Oxfordshire. The programme is designed especially for those who are thinking of starting a business but may lack the confidence to make the next step.

During the webinar, you’ll learn what the programme involves, how it works, and what you can expect to gain from taking part. The Pathways to Start Programme is a Peer Networking Programme. It brings together a small, friendly group for weekly online workshops, combining practical activities with guided discussions to help you explore your ideas, recognise your strengths, and build confidence. Each group member is able to offer and obtain insight and advice. It is a very respectful yet relaxed forum.

No business or previous experience is needed – just curiosity and a willingness to give it a go. The programme is supportive, inclusive, and grounded in real life, helping you feel more prepared and confident about what comes next.
