Then you should take advantage of the latest initiative from Enterprise Creative – Freelance Fridays; a series of free monthly training clinics for freelancers and solo entrepreneurs in any creative field.
With the growing freelance population Nigeria, we are aware of the importance of strengthening this group of mobile, flexible and skilled workers. At Enterprise Creative we believe that freelancing is not only a legitimate career option, but is also an increasingly important contributor to the Nigerian economy. Freelance Fridays will be practical, interactive workshops training freelancers and solo entrepreneurs in critical skills to enable them operate effectively in the highly competitive marketplace.
Every clinic will be led by reputable experts and will feature training on two distinct topics. There will also be opportunity for networking to encourage partnership, relationship-building, and business among freelancers. Participation in the freelance clinics is open to ALL freelancers and solo entrepreneurs from fields such as TV production, fashion, music, photography, web design, visual arts, writers, graphic design, film, etc. Whatever your skill set may be, the Enterprise Creative freelance clinics can – and will – help you successfully channel your passion into a path, to do what you love.
