Launch of REBOOT Driving Business - A LEADER Initiative supported by the Local Enterprise Office


Date: 27-09-2021

REBOOT launches a range of relevant training and networking opportunities for businesses and their staff

It has been an extraordinarily challenging 18 months for businesses and social enterprises in Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo.  As we emerge and businesses struggle to make sense of a post-Covid and Brexit environment, REBOOT can help.

REBOOT training and networking will prioritise resiliency, agility, cost management, innovation, health and safety and sales.  All are critically important to business.

REBOOT is a South West Mayo Development Company, LEADER initiative aimed at businesses and social enterprises in Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo.

Aim of the REBOOT Programme:

Reboot is a co-operative collaboration designed to assist the recovery of rural businesses and social enterprises in the aftermath of the Covid- 19 pandemic and Brexit economic disruption.  Reboot will provide a programme of FREE tailored training, skills development, expert 1:1s and networking opportunities in Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo.

Reboot has identified 3 critical areas to assist businesses/social enterprises/community groups post Covid- 19:

  • Online Marketing, e-commerce and e-marketing supports.
  • Adapting your business for future opportunities and challenges.
  • Minimising risks and optimising Health & Safety.

 Over the course of the next 18 months, organisations can access tailored training courses, get expert advice and tips on a 1:1 basis, and have the opportunity to network with their peers at organised events where they can share experiences and address challenges they face.

Speaking at the launch today, Sue O’Toole, SWMDC’s Senior LEADER Enterprise Officer said: “We are excited to launch REBOOT to support our rural business and social enterprises in Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo.  It is a great opportunity for businesses offering FREE training, expert 1:1s and strategic networking across key issues facing organisations after 18 months of disruption.  Reboot aims to foster resiliency, agility, cost management, innovation, health and safety and to maximise online sales/social media presence. Reboot activities are available to any business or social enterprise who is based in Mayo, Roscommon or Sligo, and all the courses are FREE to participants.  Follow Reboot on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to keep up to date on FREE training opportunities and upcoming events.
