The Need
Originally from the RCT area, Kyle focuses on working with artists from low socioeconomic backgrounds. As a benefit class neurodivergent individual, he faced unique challenges in navigating his own journey into the creative industry and sought to improve his business skills and efficiency.
Without formal education and struggling with the lack of a dedicated workspace, he needed a structured environment and available collaborators to supercharge his business strategy.
The solution
USW’s Business Bootcamp offered the perfect solution. The ten-week programme provided not just learning, but also a crucial workspace for uninterrupted focus. Through half-day sessions, the Bootcamp covered various business development aspects, providing the structure and tools needed to optimise processes. The visual and practical approach of the programme resonated well, making the otherwise mundane aspects of business engaging and manageable.
