The Blue Nile Program – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

Now in its third year, the Blue Nile African Australian Business Masterclass Program is a heavily subsidised program designed for African Australian entrepreneurs, not-for-profit and corporate leaders.

The program has been developed by the University of Melbourne in collaboration with the African Australian community to respond to the specific challenges faced by African Australian entrepreneurs in the Australian business landscape.

Participants engage with entrepreneurs, world-class staff executives, managers and community leaders, who will share tools for growing businesses and developing economic opportunities for the community at large. Applications are open until Sunday 14 August.
