EMPLOYMENT PROVIDER INFORMATION
Enrol your promising Young Entrepreneurs into the NEW Launch It Program where we turn their self employment ideas into a functional business in 8 Weeks
The T1K1 Co Launch It Program is designed specifically for Employment service participants who are ready to turn their business idea into a reality. This intensive 8 week program equips them with the tools and knowledge whilst progressing them through to launch their own business confidently in a supportive and dynamic environment.
The Launch It Program is outcome driven. We assess conceptual ideas to ensure participants have a realistic expectation, understanding and ability to successfully run their business upon program completion. T1K1 Co envisages that participants will be able to earn a minimum of the award rate for their chosen industry, equivalent to a full time position, with minimal operating hours of 20-30 hours a week.
BUSINESS PLANS, SUPPLIERS & SETUP GUIDES
T1K1 Co guides participants through the steps to setting up a business, developing an outline of business operations and identifying key suppliers, networks and/or stakeholders to engage with immediately.
This will set the framework for how each participant moves forward in the program. For instance; Retail based or online sales will differ in operational requirements to that of a service driven business. Participants will learn these differences and move forward confidently with a clear and concise guidance and coaching.
SHIPPING, EXPENDITURE & RECORD KEEPING
We guide participants through the finer points of shipping requirements, cost and price comparison and implementation as well as keeping records of sales, expenditure and stock.
We keep this very simple to eliminate confusion, giving participants the information and guidance and allowing them to choose the platforms that they use to ensure smooth transactions and end to end service.
REGISTER BUSINESS, ABN & APPLY FOR LICENSING
We will take participants though the digital and physcial requirements of obtaining an ABN and completing business registrations & licensing (where needed)
To register a business we will need some information from participants. 100 points of ID will be required upon enrolment.
CUSTOMER BASE & NETWORK BUILDING
Sounds simple enough, however, this is an ongoing task that will be continuing long after participants are operating independently. We give participants the guidance on creating and management of customers and networks.
We train participants how to not only find customers, but explore various ways to market their businesses and create brand awareness. We touch on leveraging their social, community and family circles as well as finding and strategic partnerships with associate companies.
OBTAIN DOMAINS, HOSTING & SOCIAL URLS
We assist in obtaining/securing digital properties including domain names and social media URL's inline with registered business names. This might vary slightly dependent on chosen business names.
We show participants how to choose the social media platforms they would like to use, ensuring they are aware of the many attributes and detractors of each. We will assist to register .com and .com.au website addresses and show participants how to link these all together to interact between website and social media.
EIGHTH WEEK SEND OFF
By this last week of the program, participants should be generating leads, undertaking quotes, getting their very first orders or undertaking their first projects. This is where we review, refine and leave participants to pursue their dreams.
We develop a comprehensive review of participants progress within the program, targets that they have set and achieved as well as those that they need to work on in the coming weeks. We provide an outline plan/guide for participants to refer to over the first 6 months to ensure they are on track with their new businesses.
WEBSITE BUILD, ONLINE STORE & SOCIAL MEDIA
This is where we guide participants through the jungle of online platform construction. We provide a crash course in harnessing AI to create content and build their website and social media pages
As a part of this, online media will need to be created such as logos, banner imagery and use of stock images. Websites and Social media require ongoing maintenance and interaction which will be discussed throughout this session and administrative tasks for future interactions will be planned.
6 MONTH REVIEW
We love to see where participants end up! We contact each participant 6 Months after completion of the program to review their business progress, goals & achievements and look at any teething issues or difficulties they may be facing
Upon review, we may recommend follow up programs (currently in development) that will assist in curbing any downfalls in the business. We look at customer growth, online interaction as well as financial stability to determine whether the business will be sustainable & successful.
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AROUND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES PROGRAMS
There will likely be minimal differences in the core Launch It! program offered to participants from Workforce Australia, Career Transition Assistance (CTA), and Transition to Work services. The program itself focuses on equipping individuals with the skills and knowledge to launch a business, which is valuable regardless of background.
However, there might be some adjustments in the pre-program outreach and support offered to each group:
- Workforce Australia & CTA Participants:Â Given these programs cater to a broader range of job seekers, outreach might emphasize how entrepreneurship aligns with career development goals and financial independence.
- Transition to Work Participants:Â This program focuses on younger job seekers. Outreach could highlight the flexibility and creative freedom that self-employment offers. Additionally, support might connect participants with resources specifically geared towards youth entrepreneurship.
Overall, the Launch It! program will likely remain consistent, offering valuable business development skills to all participants. However, T1K1 Co. can tailor its outreach and pre-program support to address the specific needs and aspirations of each group coming from Workforce Australia, CTA, and Transition to Work services.
