We're paving the way for Access Entrepreneurship in Whanganui

"This course and the staff who deliver the material empower individuals to regain independence through self-employment, so they can feel fulfilled and contribute to society. The staff were highly considerate of everyone's needs, motivational, and resourceful. This initiative brings us HOPE for a better future."

Mission

1 in 4 people globally live with a disability. In Aotearoa this wonderful community face significant barriers in accessing entrepreneurship capability education opportunities. This results in inadequate representation, and exclusion from decision-making roles in the business world. At Thrive we want to change what this journey looks like for people living with a disability, and empower them to take control of their own economic potential. 

Wānanga

Our pioneering Thrive Whaikaha wānanga programme provides tailored support for entrepreneurs who live with disabilities. This is a carefully considered programme designed with the access community ensuring an inclusive, accessible, and sustainable pathway to entrepreneurship for a community of entrepreneurs who have historically been designed out of business kōrero.
