We're thrilled to confirm that after postponing the programme in 2024, we are launching the next cohort of barefoot – a six-month business advisor training course – in February 2025.
This comes at a pivotal moment with a commitment from the government to ‘double the size of the co-op and mutual economy’, and we know we need more specialist advisors to support businesses and community groups more than ever across the UK.
So, could you apply the skills and experience you have developed working in a co-operative or community business to support other organisations? Find out more and apply here.
We’re also taking this moment to call on the co-operative sector to support this essential specialist advisor programme. Thanks to Co-op News for covering this important story.
