Businesses across Waterford are being encouraged to take part in an array of events during this year's Local Enterprise Week. 

It takes place from March 7 to March 11 this year with over 220 in-person and online events planned for businesses and entrepreneurs nationwide, and 26 in Waterford. 

Kicking off the week's events is a HR advice clinic on Monday March 7 from LEO Waterford, where small or micro businesses with Human Resources concerns can benefit from advice. 

An information session about trading online is taking place on the same day, with the Trading Online Voucher Scheme offering small businesses trading over 6 months the opportunity to create or develop an e-commerce project.

On Tuesday March 8, an event consisting of five webinars called Thinking Around Corners, Creativity & Creating Opportunities from Problems will take place. 

Each is designed to allow participants to check out a range of ways of assessing and dealing with problems, and discovering and creating opportunities for future success. 

They can also be booked as individual workshops.
