Redland City Council has launched its first series of free business workshops for 2015.

The workshops are designed to give busy local business owners easy, free access to new skills and knowledge to improve their business operations.

Redland City Council’s economic development spokesperson Cr Julie Talty said that the workshops covered a range of important business fundamentals.

“Our workshops are targeted to address current business issues and trends including digital marketing, social media, tips for starting a new business, attracting investment and how to network,” Cr Talty said.

“We engage highly-experienced, professional presenters to facilitate the training to ensure all of our local businesses get the most out of the experience.

“Most workshops are also run outside standard business hours so people who have to work during the day don’t miss out.”
