Coop Option Training – Legal Structures Deep Dive

This course aims to increase understanding by councils officers and other stakeholders of the cooperative option. This training will consist of three half-day sessions: an introductory session (which will be run twice) and two thematic deep dives. The course builds on the success of the Barefoot training for co-operative and community business advisors and is aimed at:

• Social Enterprise Advisors.

The three sessions cover:

● A knowledge of the support landscape available to alternative business models.
● An understanding of approaches that are effective when supporting groups adopting alternative business models.
