For startup founders and small businesses with a personal or commercial connection to the City of Sydney.
SSE is proud to partner with the Haymarket Chamber of Commerce and Business in the Peninsula (Pyrmont+Ultimo+Darling Harbour) to deliver an exciting series of FREE* online and in-person workshops supported by the City of Sydney, for startup founders and small businesses with a personal or commercial connection to the City of Sydney.
Whether you’re at the start of your entrepreneurial journey and have an idea you want to explore, or you are already in business and looking to build your customer base or better understand how to leverage networking or access funding, you’ll find a workshop to suit.
Workshops are completed as stand-alone modules, each with its own microcredential after successful completion. Complete one or two, or for the best experience and to receive your Startup Success Master badge, complete all six.

The remaining four microcredentials are held online once a week, with a 1-hour 'live' kick-off introducing the online, self-paced learning activities to complete for that module. Workshop sessions are planned for early evening timeslots to minimise disruption to your regular work hours and other commitments, and will be recorded to be accessible to everyone regardless of your availability on the day.
