“When I think back to that first weekend, I knew I wanted to grow but felt so unsure of how. You have created something incredible in this programme.”

When Jill O'Meara joined the WeGrow Programme, she knew she wanted to grow her business but wasn't sure how to get there.

Six months later, she's leaving with greater confidence, a wider business outlook and a network of women she'll continue to champion long after the programme ends.

"My business has grown. But more than that, I've grown as a business owner. More open, more confident and now looking at new markets I wouldn't have considered before."

“I’m leaving with friends I’ve genuinely gotten to know and respect, women I’ll champion and who’ll champion me right back”

It's feedback like this that highlights the lasting impact of WeGrow, not just on businesses, but on the women behind them.

This is your last chance to apply for the next WeGrow Programme before applications close on Monday 7th September.

Don't miss the opportunity to accelerate your business growth, expand your network and connect with a community of ambitious women business owners.

The WeGrow all-island programme, led by InterTradeIreland in partnership with Invest Northern Ireland and Enterprise Ireland, is part of the Shared Island Enterprise Scheme, funded by the Government of Ireland. Delivered by Women in Business NI and Network Ireland.

Louise McLaughlin, Director at Home Instead Belfast & Ballymena, shares an insightful blog on the importance of relationship-led care in supporting independence ❤️

"One of the biggest conversations many families face as their parents get older is knowing when extra support may be needed. For many people, this conversation often starts after a significant change, and one of the biggest changes we see is when a person decides to stop driving."

Still pretending you know more than you actually do about Excel?

Or maybe you learned it years ago at school, but if we're honest, you've forgotten most of it since then.

Whether you're managing projects in a corporate role, running your own business, or simply fed up of spending too much time wrestling with spreadsheets, Excel Essentials with The Centre of Learning is designed to help you build confidence in the skills you actually need.

Facilitated by Accredited Microsoft Master Instructor Louise Friel, this practical, hands-on programme focuses on the core Excel skills that can help you work smarter, save time and get more value from your data.

You'll learn how to:

✅ Format data for professional reports and presentations

✅ Use formulas and functions for budgets, sales tracking and targets

✅ Analyse and work effectively with lists and data

✅ Manage links between worksheets and files

Whether you need a complete refresher or want to stop relying on trial and error, this programme will give you practical skills you can start applying immediately.

For many people, the phrase “careers coaching” brings to mind CV reviews or interview prep and if you’re not quite sure what you need, it can even feel a little off-putting.

Sometimes, all it takes is one conversation with someone with an outside perspective to ask the right questions and help you see new possibilities you might not yet have considered.

That’s exactly why Timely Careers offer heavily subsidised (if you are in work) or free (if you are currently unemployed) 1:1 career chats with Careers Expert, Colette Leeson FCIPD RCDP - no pressure, no expectations, just a supportive conversation focused on you.

💬 If you’ve been feeling stuck, unsure, or simply curious, this could be a great place to start.

📧 Reach out to Nicky Scott at [email protected] to start the conversation.
