Kingaroy will be hosting a free half day workshop for women entrepreneurs on Tuesday, April 4, between 9:30am and 1:00pm.<\/p>\n

The workshop is one of fourteen similar workshops being run around the state in March and April as part of the WiRE program (Women in Rural, Regional and Remote Enterprises).<\/p>\n

Others will be held at Atherton, Cairns, Mackay, Ipswich, Roma, Charleville, Dalby, Rockhampton, Biloela, Emerald, Longreach, Goondiwindi and Charters Towers.<\/p>\n

The aim of the WiRE program is to provide free mentoring and counselling for women who want to create a business or the initiative of their dreams without having to leave regional Australia, and it has been developed by the University of Southern Queensland.<\/p>\n

The University has partnered with the Queensland Rural Regional and Remote Women\u2019s Network (QRRRWN), Startup Toowoomba and Fire Station 101 to deliver an integrated capacity building program for women in rural enterprises.<\/p>\n

The WiRE program will be officially launched at USQ Toowoomba this Friday (March 3).<\/p>\n

Professor Retha Wiesner, from USQ\u2019s School of Management and Enterprise, said the program will condense the complexity of venture\/business building into a user-friendly system of techniques, tools and guidance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The WiRE workshops will share key factors for success in creating and progressing a venture, and help develop support hubs for women in rural, regional and remote enterprises,” Professor Wiesner said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s all about expanding and empowering a community of women who are passionate about being entrepreneurial, and making a real difference to regional economies and communities.<\/p>\n

“A successful venture is not a fairy tale. All you need is a seed and the right fertiliser.”<\/p>\n

The objective of the WiRE program is to enhance individual and organisational awareness, participation, skills, entrepreneurial behaviour, competencies and capacity.<\/p>\n

It hopes to build support networks by sharing knowledge, help to grow resilient communities and create sustainable change in regional Queensland.<\/p>\n

The program is funded by the Australian Government Department of Industry, Innovation, and Science through the Women in STEM and Entrepreneurship Programme.<\/p>\n
