PRIMETIME: Senior Entrepreneurship Programme Returns for 2025
We are excited to announce the continuation of PRIMETIME, our successful entrepreneurship initiative designed specifically for aspiring business owners aged 50 and above.
Building on the programme's achievements in 2023-2024, PRIMETIME will continue providing comprehensive business support for mature entrepreneurs looking to establish new ventures.
The initiative has received support from the Office of the Seniors and the Nelson City Council as part of their "City for All Ages" strategy. This partnership reflects the Council's commitment to keeping older Nelsonians actively engaged in the community while fostering both individual well-being and economic growth.
The six-month programme which starts in February, offers participants:
- One-on-one mentoring customised to their specific business objectives and needs
- Full access to professional development through NTCC's comprehensive training programmes
- Valuable networking opportunities at the Chamber's monthly Business After 5 events
- Complimentary Chamber of Commerce membership for the duration of the programme
Do you have a brilliant business idea waiting to be developed? PRIMETIME welcomes both first-time and experienced entrepreneurs – there's no limit to innovation at any age. While participants must be 50 or older to qualify, there is no upper age limit.
