Small business workshops in 2020

21 January 2020 - Media release

2020 is the year to prioritise marketing your business online with digitally focused workshops delivered by the Australian Small Business Advisory Service (ASBAS) and Campaspe Shire Council.

Economic & Community Development General Manager, Keith Oberin said the sessions will help improve your skills, increase knowledge and make your business more efficient.

“The heavily subsidised workshops offer significant value and should be seen as an investment in growing your business to its full potential,” Mr Oberin said.
