NEW FRONTIERS ENTREPRENEUR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
“I was a participant of the New Frontiers Programme in 2019/ 2020. Although I had already been in business for a number of years, I was starting a new business and I felt that I would benefit from a programme such as New Frontiers. I wanted to know if my business idea was viable, if there was a market and what supports were available for start-ups. I can honestly say that the 6 months spent in the Tom Crean Centre was fantastic. I learned so much from the excellent facilitators and workshops and I left with a great business plan that I have used and referred to many times since. It was great going in everyday and meeting likeminded people who are all in the same boat, working hard to get their businesses off the ground.
Being an Enterprise Ireland client opens many doors and the opportunities to network are invaluable. I am still receiving support and mentorship from the team at the centre. I still refer to the many notes I have from the workshops. If you have a business idea and regardless of the experience you have, I would recommend the New Frontiers Program. I guarantee you will learn something new. Best of all you get the time and space to work on your business and get advice on every step you take. Good Luck! “

“I was a participant of the New Frontiers Programme at the Tom Crean Centre 2019-2020.
Being part of this programme was a fantastic opportunity. The support, guidance, opportunities and networks this programme provided were invaluable and allowed me to take my business from concept to revenue generating in 6 months. The Tom Crean centre is a wonderful place to work. There is a great sense of community here as all businesses interact with each other. There was always someone there with experience and advice if you had any questions or dilemmas. It is well run with ample facilities, a large, bright canteen, a large board room and several meeting rooms. I found the location very convenient also, easy to access, just off the bypass and ample, free parking available. Starting out as an entrepreneur can be lonely when you are working for yourself. Having an office in the Tom Crean Centre was fantastic as it gives you that sense of community and belonging, while working on your own business. It also lends itself to great networking opportunities. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Tom Crean Centre and the New Frontiers Programme to any businesses or entrepreneurs in Kerry.”
