Help for new ethnic minority businesses
More than 150 students from ethnic minorities have been learning the basics of starting their own businesses in Leeds.
They took part in courses designed to boost their confidence and develop their skills, and ultimately increase the number of ethnic minority-owned enterprises in the city.
The courses were jointly arranged by Leeds City Council, Leeds Thomas Danby College and the ABDN Minority Ethnic Enterprise Network.
Local Enterprise Growth Initiative (LEGI) funding of £15 million is available to help develop businesses based in the city's most deprived areas, the Yorkshire Evening Post reported.
