Delivering these online learning events have proved invaluable to many different NSW Business owners.  These events, coupled with the support delivered by our team Business Connect team of Advisors, has led to us being inundated with stories of business's who have diversified to suit todays changes, news of growth as well as bricks & mortar business owners conducting their first online sale.

From the 1st of July 2021, as NORTEC moves into our 5th year of delivering Business Connect to NSW Business owners, we are really thrilled to advise that we have a new lineup of online & face to face workshops  (yes, you heard that right!), as well as some oldie's but goodies just because you asked.

It's all about learning as much as you can,  as well as connecting with new people to help you to keep the momentum going.  There is always a light at the end of each tunnel especially if you have a helping hand to guide you.
 
No matter what size or stage your business is at,  we believe that consistency, creativity and a helping hand are the best tools to make anything possible.
