Budding entrepreneurs in North Yorkshire are being invited to apply for a space on a free course for start-up businesses.

Organisers say the courses offer a blend of live online training, personalised one-to-one advice, and on-demand online learning.
There is also the opportunity for participants to access grants of up to £2,500 at the end of the programme.
“We have witnessed tremendous success stories emerge from our previous cohorts,” said Andrew Raby, York & North Yorkshire Growth Hub manager.
“Now, we are thrilled to open our doors to a new wave of talented entrepreneurs.
“hether you are already running a start-up or contemplating taking the plunge, our tailored programme will provide the support and guidance you need.”
The Strive Live programme is designed to cater to the unique challenges faced by start-ups, with experts working closely with participants to address specific needs and foster growth.
Strive Live Sessions offer two hours of engaging and easy-to-understand concepts, tips, stories, and tools tailored for new start-up businesses. Moreover, participants can benefit from regular one-to-one advice sessions, where experienced professionals offer valuable insights and solutions to challenges.
The programme spans seven weeks of training sessions held online during the evening, featuring access to 20+ interactive e-learning modules and a supportive network of like-minded peers. The first series of the programme begins on Tuesday, 12th September 2023.
